#1-Most people wouldn't recognize Annan, so they wouldn't know how well the artists did. Mona Lisa is the best known therefore everyone can compare.

True, but Coffee Mona doesn't quite have the same ring to it as Coffee Kofi.

Good thing they didn't do one of the Prophet Mohamed! There would be a war on by now.

Let me get this straight...
