Leaving the Apple Store earlier today, I saw a guy on the street selling 8x10 photos and caricatures of various icons such as Hendrix, Sinatra, and Kurt Cobain. But at the front of the table was a poster of none other than Mao Zedong. Yes, Mao. I wanted to ask if he had Hitler, too, or if he’d run out.
Hey, I’m a dictator buff- how about an 8x10 of Saddam? Or Jonas Savimbi? Or Sierra Leone’s own Valentine Strasser? I mean, Mao only killed 38 million people- is that the best they can do?
Clearly, the Prince Street junk vendors need to take a giant step backward. Or a great leap forward.
