But I guess Kim Jong-il and Deng Xiao-ping over compensate.

Is there some explanation associated with the banner? One thing definitely confuses me and it is that the leader displayed is much taller than all the soldiers. I've been under the impression that just about all East Asian leaders are short, pudgy pukes. Of course, I'm assuming the pic is based on something real.

A buddy of mine calls those sculptures "Totalitarian Gothic." As a Hoya, you doubtless know the ones I mean. They're all over the place, especially as you get closer to the Mall.

What's wrong with a little Marxist-Leninist art to make the blog feel more like home? Hey, I made that banner in a PC-bang!

I tend to scroll past the image really fast, to get it off the screen. Still quite cool, though.
