Banksy is a genius. Balloon-Girl in Palestine (2005)
This was created at the time of conflict between the Israelis and the Palestine (started in 1993 going to this very day, many Palestinian people have not accepted many aspects of agreements made with Israel). The image was created make people stop and think about the children in this war between the two.
This artifact is on a 425-mile-long West Bank barrier, separating Israel from the Palestinian territories. The context of the image is seen as a hopeless end that the only was to get over this wall is to hold balloons and believe (fly) which isn't reality. The visual artifact is intended for a mass audience which is nationally, although it's on the wall which separates the land this gives people the hope to believe. Via here.
Another genius:

Look at how people use 6 words to descript their life:
Found true love, married someone else. ← This one is especial touching.
Married for money. Divorced for love.
Sometimes I wish we were together.
Write about Sex, Learn about Love.
Fourteen years old, story still untold.
This is a pretty cool idea.
The psychic said I'd be richer.
I still think about you, everyday.
Just six words can't define me.

Quite excited. Don't know if I could encounter any pretty sisters... Haha
Here are some funny viedo... Do not try to figure me out, I am not one of them.
On 14 Jun, 1:30am I arrived home. Being a best man is so much fun. All the bridesmaids are pretty, friendly and gentle to us. Good to meet you, Peng, Lesley & Eva low b. I have devoted my precious first time to you girls. It is a good good show! Could we still keep contact?
Bride & bridesmaids cried in some touching moment, I guess I should learn how to handle such situation if I want to be a man.
I asked Cynthia if she will cry in wedding, she replied she will even dreamt of it. May be I am so Spock that I do not understand the feeling, or I am not mature enough to understand the importance & implication??
Wish Rambo & Vicky a happy couple all the time.

黑暗大布局：中國的非洲經濟版圖
A good selection of cover picture. Here is the story behind this classic:
On the building site of the Imboulou dam, Republic of the Congo, 200km north of the capital Brazzaville. In the foreground a Chinese worker of the China National Mechanical & Equipment corporation (CMEC) company, which in 2001 has obtained the contract. With its 120 megawatts, this power plant will double the national production of electricity and will give light to a large part of Congo. 400 Chinese technicians and qualified workers supervise a Congolese workforce of a thousand man, paid 3 dollars a day, that disappear as fast as they can find a better paid job. This, in part, explains the dam construction delay that has to be absolutely terminated by 2009, the year of the next Congo elections. CMEC requires the Chinese workers to wear yellow and the Congolese blue hardhats. Via china wild west
