Oh, they're not 'Nazi/KGB' in content (nothing about 'Praising Hitler' or 'genocide of all non-Aryan races' or 'supporting Mother Russia' or whatever those groups' themes were); but the strategy is relatively the same (I guess ... mostly 'the repetition') ...

Tell me: how many people-in-wheelchairs did you see in that ad? Any blind people (possibly with a White Cane, maybe looking blankly into the distance as they read some braille)? Deaf people (although I don't know how you could tell ... maybe someone speaking sign-language)?
