Janus-Faced Chicken of Wangfujing52 viewsIn the egregiously commercialized shopping district of Wangfujing stands this enigmatic inflatable chicken. Its one face turned benevolently toward the swarms of shoppers hungry for tchotchkes and gew-gaws; its other face a stern mask of warning, perhaps about the soul-threatening perils of consumerism, perhaps about the looming threat of the avian flu. It could also be a weird advertisement for the chicken restaurant behind it. The answer is uncertain. But thank you, giant Janus-faced chicken, for keeping your patient vigil.mudmine
