Copycat cities: Western replicas are going up in China, North Korea
cbsnews ^ | May 4, 2013 | Wyatt Andrews

For all his ranting against foreigners, North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un is strangely fixated on western symbols. He is said to be going ahead with plans for a world amusement park in North Korea, featuring replicas of landmarks like Big Ben in London and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The idea may have come from China, which is building Western replicas on a much larger scale, even whole "copycat" cities.

The Asian replicas of London and American cities are safer than the originals because the Asian versions aren’t filled with black thugs.

London? Not believable unless they import millions of Pakistanis.

Paris? Ditto, except for Muslims!!

Los Angeles? Not credible w/o 11 million illegal immigrants from Mexico and buildings graffitied.

New York? No 32 oz. sodas!!

Why does this remind me of the video game Grand Theft Auto??

The white guy seems to have a distinct advantage. His pants are not wrapped around his knees.

Give ‘em time. BTW, China has its own ‘thugs’ ~ always has had them, probably owns the patent for ‘thugs’ ~ but India owns the word itself!
