Yummy! Looks delicious. It must go well with boiled grass and roasted tree bark.

Well, at least 96 people it took to make it had a steady job for a time. although, who knows if they were paid, or if just the honor of making this for our dear leader was payment enough.
disgusting

Think about it: This is the same kind of crap that happens in all dictatorships, be it communist, Muslim, etc. This goes on in Africa. Bono wants our money for Africa. I'd rather set it on fire. At least it would produce some warmth that way.

So the government wasted 96 man-years on this project? That's nothing -- our government can waste a thousand times that much effort on unneeded projects.

Ask Chinese. They have been doing this in Southern China for centuries.

Not to mention three elephants!

How thoughtful of the CCP.

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Tyrant Dictator,
Happy Birthday to you.

IVORY?!

......but, but.....Only Capitalist, Imperialist, Plunderers of the Earth's resources would do something like this! Right? [/s]

Do the Enviro-Liberals that worship, and want to establish a egalitarian Communist State here in the US, know about the elephants died to produce this?
