Is China in distress?


Now Playing : "Zero" - Smashing Pumpkins

Jules and I spotted a furniture expo in Section 17 that was displaying a long row of local and international flags, as how one would if there were a myriad of delegates visiting. Then we noticed something that stood (ha! pun!) out like a sore thumb.

China's flag was hung upside down!

We were in shock! Since when was China in distress (if flags are hung upside down, it means that a country is in distress)??? Could countries other than China do this?? Did the furniture expo owner have some sort of loathing towards China that he did this to show disrespect? Or could it be simply that someone put up that flag blindly, and had not realized that it was upside down?

It's most likely the latter, but if this has been up for some time, I'm surprised that they have no knowledge about this and that no one has bothered to tell them about it before someone lands into really hot soup!

Uh oh...then again...

We didn't tell them either.

Ooops!
