Yeap, my whole family gathered round our 1 black and white tv we had in the living room to watch when it was on the news. Then they made an announcement in school. The real deal breaker though was that the Chipmunks had made a special on it.YellowSnow said:

[The Wall (80s Episode)
Airdate
Flag US December 17, 1988
Plot
The Chipmunks are invited to play in the "Wall of Iron" concert by the Berlin Wall. Once in Germany, Dave explains that the concert is held for the friends and families forced to live with limited freedoms on the other side of the wall. While taking photos, the boys meet a young girl named Caterina. Once she tells them that she communicates with her brother, Eric, who's trapped on the other side, via a soccer ball, The Chipmunks agree to take pictures and sign autographs for him. Alvin promises to rescue him, but the wall guards think they are defecting to the other side much to the dismay of Dave. Eric finds the boys and assists in an escape with the help of a tailor. Unfortunately they are recaptured and taken to the Rock Pile where they are forced to perform rock n roll to show the people that it shouldn't be forbidden. During their performance the wall starts cracking and, by the end, it falls reuniting families. Alvin is awakened by Dave on the plane where he states "it was just a dream, but it doesn't have to be."
Trivia
Ironically, Alvin's dream actually would come true eleven months later, with the actual destruction of the wall in November 1989.
This episode was rebroadcast on NBC on November 18, 1989, nine days after the collapse of the Berlin Wall.]
That's actually pretty crazy that the original broadcast was in 1988 before the wall came down. -
It’s sad. Remembering what people went through to defeat that horrible political-economic system and now people who grew up with all the comfort, convenience, opportunity, wealth and lack for nothing are starting to favor that shit. Meanwhile people their age are fighting for their lives in Hong Kong.UW_Doog_Bot said:[The Wall (80s Episode)

They fact that this type of thinking exists is disturbing. The fact that millions worship this turd is scary. I have BDS.
Say Bill Gates was allowed to make billions of dollars.
We could improve the lives of billions of people by making the internet accessible to them, lowering the cost of goods, and lifting them out of poverty by providing them with technology jobs. We could provide vaccines, clean water and reduce malaria for millions.
Wait: this has already happened. -

What’s really disgusting about that is the claim that homelessness and the problems with drinking water have anything to do with a lack of tax revenueMikeDamone said:They fact that this type of thinking exists is disturbing. The fact that millions worship this turd is scary. I have BDS.
