...revolutionary-themed room was perhaps the most intellectually stimulating. On one poster, the Whites who battled the communist Reds in the Civil War were portrayed as wine-swilling fat cats not dissimilar in manner to the depictions of their red-white-and-blue-hatted American counterparts on the congruent poster. Another work in the room focuses on conspiritorial links within the League of Nations between the capitalist nations to destroy the Soviet "threat."

...masturbate (last season's Emmy-winning episode The Contest, in which the characters competed to be "master of your domain"). In reality, the show is more densely textured, elaborately plotted and psychologically astute than any other comedy on TV.
