Starship Troopers has the heroes wearing Nazi uniforms, and it has a scene from in-fiction television, "teaching" children that killing terrestrial insects is what they should do to assist with the war on the bugs. I don't remember much of Robocop, but how much more satirical can you get than that?

Here is an in-movie ad for a product that exists in the Robocop universe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmSSVt7Mfkk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmSSVt7Mfkk

  In-movie propoganda reel from Starship Troopers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faFuaYA-daw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faFuaYA-daw Note Neil Patrick Harris sharply dressed in a rather SS-officer-esque uniform. I'd say it's a tossup.

  That's not much of a satire, given that the Nuclear War card game has been around since 1965. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War_(card_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War_(card_game)

    Could one of you folks downvoting me please tell me what you disagree with? I'm really not getting why this was controversial or offensive. Did you think I was badmouthing Robocop, or what?
