Way to be politically incorrect! I love the satire here. For once I've given a digital creation an earnest "I like it," because this was great. Like Areetsa, I think some more of these songs would be entertaining. 'There's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now...'

a buddy of mine would love this

HAHA!

Haha, yeah, I don't mind the nickname. I know "Architect of Vonthako" is rather long and cumbersome to type out.

Ha ha - yeah right! I know what you do 'behind the lines'! Great MOC - man, this was really funny! I practically died of the uncontrollable mirth that overwhelmed me while I read this!

I LOVE the suggestive pictures in this one! (Mainly the pictures of the commies, including Obama! LOL.) Good job! 5/5.

Make a new text document with a .ldr extension and paste the text in there. Then open the document with an LDRAW program.

Hey AoV, How do you convert text into 3D renderings again?

When WW3 comes people will be so lazy it will just be a bunch of guilds bttleing it out on world of warcraft.

I was actually thinking of doing that as a follow-up, playing out the natural conclusion of WWIII.

You know, I didn't actually think this had any Tom Lehrer in it. D'ya think you could try a rendition of Poisoning Pigeons In The Park? Or, perhaps, "We Will All Go Together When We go", whilst we're looking for politically incorrect things to do?

Wow, the Obama joke is funny. He basically is a communist. I don't think you are being mean considering what librals say about us conservatives. I have been getting tired of the George Bush jokes. I am still surpised that we elected a president who couldn't pass an FBI background check.

Thanks, Bones! Ya got it figured out!

Alright bro, I'll go look at it - haven't been active on the 'pages for the past couple of days since I had a project deadline approaching.

I putting obama there wasn't mean at all. I don't understand what that guy was thinking.

By the way, went back and read some comments. Hypocritical this is not; it is satire and should be viewed as such. Just because some folks are in love with Obama does not mean everyone is or has to be. The guy is a borderline socialist, I am sure AV here would have had some interesting satire about GW Bush as well. You know why? Because he thinks, that’s why; he does not simply follow party dogma. Keep up the good work Archy.

Now how did I miss this? Very nice designs and some funny stuff contained therein! Therin, hmmm, odd word that. Anyway, cheers!

Hey this is good,I uploaded a WIP of the project you assigned me to could you check it out and comment as soon as possible? =P

Ok now its not available for this version of mac! Arrgggh! I guess I will use my brothers computer later :D

Well, the "history" of it was in reference to the cold war and the considerable speculation at the time about the likelihood of a nuclear Armageddon. This song was out in 1965.

Not a bad moc but putting Barack Obama along with commies was a strange decision- don't really get the joke- also you should remove this from a historygroup since this has nothing to do with real history since there is no third world war in history unless it is fictional war -or sort of what if- situation taking place before present day- then i could accept it as "fantasy-stuff"

oh god this is great! well done, your great at these jokey mocs! you are the best moc joker! Your mocs are very inspirational. well done

Interesting...

Ok this is very good... However the whole "Obama" joke was too harsh and wasn't really funny! Anyway still great! Hey I have 2 questions... 1. Can you link me to the LeoCad engine because I need to send instructions for my Moc 2. Can you please comment on my Master & Apprentice? If you could answer these it would be greatly appreciated! thanx ~Hawke

Ok wait got LeoCad's download site but is it available for Mac?

One of those things is most definitely like the others! Mean? No. Honest and insightful? Absofrickinlutely! I am not into the digital stuff, but this earns an instant 'favorite builder' add! Funny stuff.~H

I love it! Everything is really kool, and all though it is animated, you were able to do things you couldn't with Legos! The TV is kool, but ESPECIALY the atom bomb effects! I love the little political joke you threw in there, just a great MOC, although I didn't bother to play the song, but now I wish I did. Maybe Ill go back and listen to it. =)

nice job putting obama where u did that makes this moc 50,000 times funnier i think he fits right in

To all the people who think I'm ragging only on the left side of politics or on Obama specifically: I would have just as harsh (if not harsher) criticism if for a politically far-right president, except the wall would have a different symbol ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Italian_Fascist_flag_1930s-1940s.svg ), and the other portraits would be of Abba Ahimeir, Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, Adolf Hitler, Ikki Kita, Oswald Mosley, Benito Mussolini, José Antonio Primo de Rivera, Konstantin Rodzaevsky, Ante Pavelic, and Plinio Salgado. Either extreme, far-left or far-right, leads to the banishment of freedom and the rise of tyranny.

And I don't see the North Koreans complaining about having their supreme leader's portrait up on that wall... oh, wait - maybe it's because the only guy who likely has internet access in N. Korea is the same as the one who's picture is up there! ;) See what happens when the people stand by and let communists have power?

Unless it was my intention to make a point regarding his political ideologies and draw people's attention to that point. Besides, I clearly stated in the very next sentence that this MOC is intended to be comedic. What kind of dystopia has this nation turned into, and what kind of sheep-like drones have we become if we cannot joke about (or tolerate those who do joke about) the individuals and groups who have power and influence in this country?

2 words: political satire. I criticize public figures all the time. It is the right and the responsibility of the people to make their voices heard, regardless of where they live. No human, regardless of their rank, office, or class has the right to deny other humans their God-given freedoms (within reason, of course). And if the politicians can't take the heat, they should get out of the proverbial kitchen - criticism comes with the territory. I didn't tell Obama to be leftist, socialist, or to bow to tyrants - those were his choices to make, and now he can grow a pair of cajones and deal with the consequences. Just because a person is the ruler of a nation, doesn't mean they are above reproach. We all need a slap to the back of the head once in a while to wake us up and let us know that we're on the wrong track. OK, looks like you found the link (that I include in each and every one of my MOCs, as well as my homepage). It doesn't look like LeoCAD is available for Mac, but you can try Bricksmith ( http://bricksmith.sourceforge.net/ ), which is an LDraw application for Mac (can't give first-hand comment on quality; I don't use Apple/Mac products). As far as commenting on MOCs, it is generally considered poor etiquette on the 'pages to solicit your MOC on someone else's page. I might look at it if I have time, but I make no promises. I've got a folder with more than 80 notification emails of MOCs that I want to look at, and those are just the new ones. Remember, I have a life (college, social life, other projects) outside of MOCpages; and I still have the same 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.1 seconds in a single day as everyone else does. I'm not saying this just at you, but as a general announcement. There are 10s of thousands of MOCs on this site that I'd love to look at, review, and bask in the awesomeness of, but sadly, I can only do so much in a single day.

Well I'm just saying, you posted how you were aware of any controversy that may be sparked by the "war" aspect of your moc, but you did little to suppress any controversy sparked by the Obama picture. Kinda hypocritical if you ask me

What do you think needed to be said about that? It was a subtle expression of a dissenting viewpoint - artists with strong political opinions do this sort of stuff all the time. Of course in the Orwellian dystopias that those other guys on that wall were/are running, we wouldn't be having this conversation, because a death squad would have taken me away in the night for daring to present the supreme leader in an unfavorable way. I was born in the Soviet Union, and I do not want to see America, the shining light of the West, become anything like that sort of regime. I've read your homepage, and I see that you're much more politically/socially aware than most people your age. You also seem to favor the viewpoint of balance and moderation, as do I. I think we can have a lot of interesting conversations in the future. -Peace

Why did you say "I am in no way endorsing war, use of nuclear arms, communism, or sending sausages to Mark Kelso", but didn't say anything about the Obama picture? :l

Well, while he's not of the same caliber as the other guys on that wall (yet), he does seem to be more concerned with pushing his socialist agenda than with human rights, fighting terrorism, making America respected in the world, or anything that would be actually useful to this nation.

This is very good Cyril, but are you trying to say that President Obama is a communist? Other than that, this is a very good MOC. Good job!

Well, glad someone finally noticed the little political statement I snuck in there! Hey, if the shoe fits...

That song is all true, but putting Obama in there was kinda' mean.

Thanks, and I agree - LDD is just too limited for my creativity.

Thanks, but I don't use LDD (though I realize that the nuclear explosion may look like an LDD model, this MOC was done with LeoCAD, LDraw, LDView, Paint.net, and Google Earth.

Thank you! I do my part to promote respect toward digital MOCs and the artists who make them.

Thanks, Mark! That's high praise coming from a renowned MOCer such as yourself.

Thanks, but your interpretation of the MOCpages rules is quite inaccurate. Go and actually read the rules.

Thats one of my favorite songs,great job!

nice job i downloaded the leoCAD program its a lot better than lego digital designer !

I agree with Yuri,this is one of the LDD creations on MOCpages~NN

This must be the best digital LEGO MOC I've eveer seen (in fact I very seldom comment on them). Well done, Architect.

LMAO! Dude, there are so many cool things about this post I can't even list them all! But let me at least say that you're breaking new ground here (based upon what I've seen elsewhere) with digital LEGO. And one other thing...LOVE THAT SONG!!!

great job! but sean said this site is for lego, and he also said no digital stuff.. still its a good job!

Bob, you would have been around when this song first came out (in 1965)! Probably somewhere in your late teens, right?

Very well done.

Not familiar with that one...

Reminds me of the Major Tom song.
