Tibet to China: Thanks But You Shouldn't Have
Talk about white elephants. Or llamas. Wait, maybe it's lamas. Anyway, as if it wasn't enough to be ruled by China, Tibet will now have a 35-ton, 24-foot tall statue of Mao Zedong to remind them of that fact.
The money for the statue, a first for Tibet, was given by the people in Mao's hometown of Changsha, in the Hunan province as part of aid money for the country. How generous of them. Maybe they could just build a giant jackboot instead?
