if driving a MUNI, would R2D2 park the 22 on Church, get out and run into Muddy Waters for a double almond latte -- leaving his packed bus of riders scratching their heads??
I'm confused, why aren't we all lining up at the Consulate to protest this piece of artwork? Why aren't we demanding the Chinese censor this horrific image? Why aren't we burning things and overturning cars and rioting, because someone made an image that might make some people cry?
Cause, you know, that's what other people do....
That Shanghaiist picture is amazingly provocative and I'm surprised it didn't generate more comments. Maybe that particular -ist is off the radar of the highly nationalistic types?
@malcove: i mean if the Absolute vodka ads in Mexico showing a Greater Mexico could make people mad....

Other than that, I sure am provoked!
My only question is "which orifice is the large Chinese statue supposedly defiling?"
i've got to say, i kindof like the red on her. it matches her eyes
so... wait does this symbolize the two countries being in love? Or is this insulting to America because she's getting rogered?
'cause, you know, uh, that's how hetero sex, uh works. Boys go in girls and that's ok.
I just don't understand international coitus anymore.
New Wave Chinese art is hot in the market, and has been for awhile.
This particular piece is pretty lame- poorly executed [see background buildings,little girl about to jump etc]
At least it looks like they're having a fun stick-it-in job.
Londonist has planted strange visions of R2D2/Dalek action in my head.
