MADE IN CHINA


One of the great things about the Manhattan skyline are the buildings at night. Two of my favorites are the Chrysler Building and, of course, the Empire State Building. Both are beautifully lit.

The Empire State Building is known to change the color of it's lights to commemorate a particular holiday or city event, so I was disappointed to read on MSNBC today that to celebrate the 60th anniversary of communist China, the Empire State Building will be lit up in red and gold.

WTF?

So we're going to celebrate a country known for such issues as severe human rights violations and pollution so great that their smog circles the globe? Seriously?

This is wrong and really I hope they're going to take a second look at this.
