Overt message: Oil and competition are what make the world go around.
Covert message: Capitalism and innovation have allowed America to become a prosperous nation.
This is propaganda because while this seems like a basic story about oil and competition, the entire video can be seen as a metaphor for America's fight for capitalism in the world. In the end, Ogg the Great was taken out of control and new, free businesses were created. Testimonial and repetition were used as forms of propaganda because the ideas of oil and competition were repeatedly stressed in the video and the space explorer was used as the major supporter of the American ideas of competition and oil.
