Political leaders are never loved by the entire populace over which they rule that's just the nature of the beast. People make disparaging remarks, political cartoonists use them to make a point and musicians have written unflattering songs about them. That said having your face printed on toilet paper is a new low. Yes, there hundreds of butt jokes one could make but let's try and save a little face here. Oh, wait to late.
BEIJING — The authorities in southern China
have seized about 8,000 rolls of toilet paper and 20,000 packages of
tissues containing unflattering images of Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing chief
executive, according to an official of the small political party that
placed the order.
The
items were to be sold at a market in Hong Kong during Lunar New Year
celebrations later this month, the official, Lo Kin-hei, a vice chairman
of the Hong Kong Democratic Party, said Saturday.
No reason was given for the seizure of the paper products, worth about
$12,900, in the city of Shenzhen, outside Hong Kong, Mr. Lo said. He
said he guessed that the Chinese authorities “don’t like people mocking
government officials, especially high-ranking government officials,
after the movement.”
