Scott -- I didn't know that one, but I remember Ralph Bakshi animated the
image over and o v e r again (as is his wont) in _American Pop_ (1979, as I
recall). Did a "nice" job (I use the term advisedly). Similar in raw style to
the animation recetly in _Natural Born Killers_ (the ethos is similar: barely
coherent images fueled by rage against a nation, and sentimentality for it
too).
