This pleases me… Unfortunately that means that certain Alcoholic Primates will be out of the job.
I bet Mikhail is spinning in his grave.
On the contrary, I’m inclined to think he’d be thrilled to know millions more people will come to appreciate his design.
Put me on the waiting list.
I bet not. IIRC, he was disheartened and disappointed that his most famous achievement (among many, many others overshadowed by this one) became the unofficial symbol of dictatorships and oppression worldwide.
But now that design is being manufactured and sold in America, to be used as a tool of liberty and freedom. Personally, I’d feel better.
