China's 60th Year Anniversary Time Lapse

As you may already know, China is celebrating this week 60 years of Communist rule, and when the Chinese want to get patriotic (or nationalistic, whatever you want to call it), and they're not silencing their own citizens, they know how to put on a big show.

Think what you will about the merits of the individualism and personal freedom we exalt in the West... it's virtually impossible to imagine Americans having the kind of discipline and synchronization required to create the kind of display the Chinese have become famous for.


It's sad, here in America, the only thing we seem to be able to do is tea-bagging protests, but at least we can report them with awesome humor :)


And if you don't know much about the leader of China, you're not alone... neither did president George W. Bush :)

  1. All of our personal freedoms and individualism have created a nation of fat assed,mis -shapen lazy morons who would rather watch American Idol than read a book. In addition to big shows, China also disseminates vast knowledge through it's fortune cookies. Check out the latest pearl of wisdom from my latest venture into Chinese take out.

  2. You might consider adding,"When they are not running down protesters with tanks on Tianamen Square."
