    Street Art -- Interpret This

    From my neighborhood. I don't think this is the only version. I seem to recall seeing a version in Manhattan.

    By the way, Google Goggles is awesome. Identified it on the first shot.

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

    It's an M-16 so is that supposed to be a Laotian Montenyard boy during the Vietnam war?

        That's what I'm asking you!

          I don't know, but you gave the impression that you do.

            I think it looks like a Montagnard too or some other South East Asian guerrilla fighter. Do the Karens use American weapons?

            Anyway, I'm spoiling it now. It's a work by the same guy who did the Obama Hope poster and is called "Duality of Humanity 2". Here's another similar one:

              I don't think you spoiled it. Didn't see in any of the links an explanation of what this piece means, so you're cool.
