    Anyone remember Benny Hill? Was he a communist or something? It's fine with me if he was (not that I am).

    Because he used to have these skits on the Benny Hill Show that I swear were promoting communism. I'm serious. Anyone know what I am talking about?

    Brits actually have a somewhat free mass media, especially back then, having foolishly established the first democracy. Many old shows like Benny's sound like communism to us, because political humor has been reduced to Kindergarten insults in the US.
