Revolutionary

In one of the more bizarre gifts I've ever received, Hal gave me a hand-painted communist propaganda poster with my face in place of the original character. He took my picture on his iPhone, asking me to look slightly upward, like I was "gazing into the future." The photo above is a photoshopped mockup. The poster arrived this week and is a rather startling likeness that improves on the real me.

Now I have to sort out the political correctness of the poster before I display it in the office. With people from Beijing and all over the world coming in to my office, I'm a bit concerned that what seems like lighthearted fun from an American standpoint might be harder to explain than I want to deal with.
