Empire State Building turns red-yellow for China's 60th(AFP) – 1 day ago

NEW YORK — New York's iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China.

The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the colors of the People's Republic until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said in a statement.

The upper sections of the building are regularly illuminated to mark special occasions, ranging from all blue to mark "Old Blue Eyes" Frank Sinatra's death in 1998 to green for the annual Saint Patrick's Day.

Just last week the tower turned bright red.

However, that was not to mark some other communist achievement, but the 70th anniversary of the film "The Wizard of Oz" in which Dorothy wears ruby slippers rather than the silver of the original L. Frank Baum novel.

This is pretty sick. America has dropped to the new low level of praising a nation that killed 60 million of its own people. Telling, huh.

Get used to it mate, they're going to own your asses soon enough.

Well, seeing as how we're well on our way to becoming a communist-like state, it's no surprise. =)

Well... you got me. That's fucked up.

We will be owned by leprechauns before that ever happens. The world would not survive the war that would take place over something like that.

It's already happening, you owe them like a year's economic output or something stupid like that. :l

I believe you mean 'stole at gunpoint and/or with the threat of incarceration'.

Oh, we owe them lots of money, but that does not mean they will own us.

Obama is a college kid blowing his new Chinese credit cards to the limit now. That's great news.
