"No. You told me you were wearing red...!"
I have this color registered with the WTO, Buddy! You owe me big time.
Watch where you’re pointing that finger!
Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng rolled a big sparkling pearl at last night's gala, broadcast live across the world, setting off a domino effect that resulted in the formation of a giant Haibao on the floor. The audience responded with thunderous applause. "It's very adorable," said Gu Weiyi, a school kid. "I want a big mascot toy."
Modeled on the Chinese character ren, meaning people or a person, its name is based on si hai zhi bao, or the treasure of the four seas. Haibao can also mean the treasure of Shanghai.
"We believe the mascot will help develop the expo's theme and become the ideal ambassador for the event," said Hong Hao, director of the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination.
Picked from thousands of entries, the mascot focuses on ren to showcase the importance the Expo attaches to people.
The postal bureau will issue a set of commemorative stamps today to popularize the mascot.
Nothing in politics is accidental nor unexpected (except maybe to us ... ) and most assuredly not by the Clintons.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary ... are you SO devoid of relevance that you stoop to an invented, personified cartoon ?
