DevinThe Kinks wrote an entire album that acted as a narrative of an ordinary man affected by the rise and fall of the British empire. One song, "Victoria," is a song that appears earlier in that album and acts as an upbeat tribute to Queen Victoria and her empire.

The power of the advertisements, that show something that's not as if it is. Like tatoos, which are no longer tatoos, which brings to mind pictures of tough, burley, mean people. Now, it's "ink". Don't be hoodwinked.
