Hello you.

We’ve not heard a protest or squawk,
From the blueshirts who threatened to walk,
Once the X-Case law passes.
Was it just through their asses,

A 14m tall 16.7m long inflatable duck created by conceptual artist Florentijn Hofman was towed into Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour this week, and will remain on display there until June, spreading teh happy, unless it’s destroyed by Gojira first.
The artist sez:
The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!
Thanks Niall O’M
Like totally.

His daughter lives in Dublin, don’t you know.
