Propaganda Grab

December 2nd, 2003

This script retreives every portion of the Propaganda background image archive. Surprisingly, it's really hard to find all of these in the same place, and then once you have them all, they're all grossly misorganized. This app probably could've been written a lot better, at second glance, but it is what is and it may still work.
