The couple that steals together stays together, at least in the case of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, who are best remembered as the dangerous duo Bonnie and Clyde. Wanted on charges of murder, kidnapping, robbery and auto theft, the couple was gunned down in Louisiana on May 23, 1934.

but still, i'd say Hitler was actually pretty clever with his iconography, even artistic. he had a theme going, good symbology... iconic color palate, and nice clean icons he used.

...but this, this is just a monstrosity.

Who would ever think that the germans were more artistic than the italians???

I'm fascinated by this photograph and been trying to find more information on it, but its not easy. Only sort of explanation i've found is this:

The building in the picture is Palazzo Braschi in Roma, the HQ of the Rome Fascist Party Federation (the local, not national Party HQ). The "SI SI ..." lettereing (meaning "Yes Yes ...) are propaganda for one of the two "plebiscite" elections held during the Fascist Regime.

Its like something from 1984
