Vietnam War games / Meatball Fulton bits, undated

1975/1986

Vietnam War games / Meatball Fulton bits is a program of satiric segments critiquing various aspects of society. The first consists of a dark satire, presenting fictional coverage of “the eighth annual Vietnam War Games,” describing a series of exceeding violent events such as burning Vietnamese villages and killing civilians as if they were sport events. Another segment features a foreboding voice encouraging listeners to “separate spirit and mind” to avoid communism, and another includes a false advertisement featuring increasingly violent and graphic ways to avoid the draft. There are many additional satiric segments, undated.
