I wonder how the average Khmer reader views all this recent onslaught in the daily rags? I'd imagine a lot of the older ones are used to the propaganda, having lived through the 80's, do regular people read/believe or care about these efforts, which must be coming from the MoI?
A lot of people here don't know what day of the week it is, let alone when the holidays are.
Just like a bad tune on the radio, if they play it often enough, you'll be humming it in no time at all.

Wait until China starts moving its missiles and bases here. That may juice things up a bit.
