Banksy Wannabe? Or Daniel?


"Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image ... his feet part of iron and part of clay. ... And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken."

Interesting stunt pulled by this guy Pablo (is this a Kraut name?) Luckily, the ChiComs are a bit more mellow nowadays. Betcha a nickel to a dime that in Mao's days, such a stunt would have resulted in dire consequences.

Maybe not, AI. In Mao's days the cultural revolutionarios were actively seeking out such as this in order to smash all memory of the past into broken rubble. Many people risked life, and perished, in the attempt to save artifacts from this "cultural cleansing". It stopped only after Mao's death, in the early days of the "Gang of Four".
Of course, the guy would still have been offed for dissing authority.
