You guys are really watering down the definition of propaganda.

Almost any work of fiction has some point to it, usually one that is political or religious or social in some way.
I suppose it all fits under a loose definition of propaganda... but the word itself carries the connotation of some government-sponsored forced information...
I don't think we can lump pretty much all entertainment that is more substantial than Spongebob in with the works of the Nazis.

That's one of the creepiest things I've ever seen... Maybe Spongebob is propaganda.
