This should fullfil you.


Orwell's novel 1984 has regular "three minute hate" sessions, during which people are gathered to watch a three minute video of eastasian/eurasian enemies, followed by Emanuel Goldstein talking treason, then ending with a reasuuring image of Big Brother to upbeat music.

Fortunately, unlike in the novel, people aren't daft enough to fall for this - Giuliani's presidential campaign bombed to just 4% of the vote soon after this ad went out. You can fool some of the people, some of the time, but that's all.
