5/26/2004: Pigeon ruler

Undertoad · 05-26-2004, 03:43 PM

Late today and so I'm posting something really light. The danger of a free press is that a photographer has the freedom to shoot and crop something up that makes it look as if your army is run by a pigeon overlord.

Or that there is such a great hatred of the evil pigeon that he must face the firing squad. gulp. Give the poor bastard a smoke.

This is kind of how I imagined it would be like in Elbonia.

Kinda reminds me of the guy walking down the street with a shopping bag, standing off the tanks headed for Tiananmen Square.

Very brave.

I see the photographer also captured a shot of the secret "stealth pigeon" air force.
