Okay you're prayers have been answered
Remember The Shining when the kid saw murder in the mirror. Remember Stallone in Demolition Man.

"Better dead than Red" was an anti-Communist phrase first used during World War II in its original German form "Lieber tot als rot" and later during the Cold War by the United States. It was coined by Nazi Germany's Propaganda Minister, Josef Goebbels in the end phase of the Second World War to motivate the German military and population to fight the Russians to the end.

The English version comes probably from the original German but it could also be a re-invention. The slogan was used in the United States in the 1950s by anti-Communists to express their opposition to a Communist takeover in the USA, or indeed to any potent leftist influence at all. The counter-slogan "Better Red than dead" also developed. (See also McCarthyism)

The phrase continues to find use today in various places. Because of the common use of the primary colors red and blue to represent Republican-leaning and Democratic-leaning U.S. states, people in some more politically liberal regions might express their disgust with the power of conservative-leaning areas by using the phrase.

"Better dead than red" has also been used in school rivalries. For instance, it has been yelled by fans of teams that match up against the Wisconsin Badgers (who use the colors red and white), especially fans of the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The phrase also used and embraced by radical Nationalists. Most notably used as the name of the American "RAC/Oi!" band "Better Dead Than Red."

Hmm the ole MDK intitials. There have been many a conversation with regards to this little batch of letters.

My personal favorite has to do with a game that had come out some years ago by that name "MDK" this game was a major breakthrough but apparently not to popular with the North American side of the world... and no wonder because at that time Doom 2 just came out.

Anyway MDK (My version anyway) simply stands for:

M urder
D eath
K ill

But the only one that can truely give the best accurate definition is the one

the only

rEdrUmMDK himself

Take a bow red, ya old bugger.

Cheers

P.S. redrum is murder backwards and is from the movie "The Shining" - personally I thought the movie was boring but hey just one opinion. What was scary was the lead actress [sad]
