    I've actually lived in China. As long as you follow the laws, you can live a very comfortable life.

    Ah yes, China. Home of buckets of human rights violations, streets awash with aborted girl fetuses, and poisonous exports of toxic medicine and melamine-laced pet food, which kill US citizens and their kitties and doggies with total impunity.

    Let's light up a landmark in their honor, because we like eggrolls!

    What fucking Republican was responsible for this fucktardery?

    Well, the Chinese flattered us when they named us "Mei Guo," or "The Beautiful Country." The least we could do was make our skyline pretty for them.

    After all, if anyone is thinking of selling the building, this will only make it more attractive to rich Chinese buyers.

    Might as well, since most of the tourist junk for sale in the shops around the Empire State Building was made in China anyway.

    Who lost the Empire State Building? Discuss.

    How about a little light show love for Equatorial Guinea?
