There was a small controversy centered around my computer screen, but I was convincing enough to make them let it through.

I wonder now if they will take it down? Just kidding, no one cares.

This is why the authorities in China do not want Warhol’s Maos exhibited in China.

We cannot have the slaves here thinking that Mao today is nothing more a sanitized simulation reproduced on an industrial scale by cynical power, can we?
