It does look weird.

For the record, this photo is from China Times and attributed to a news source I don't know.

The link above won't last long -- they change their pictures

There appears to be a hole right where the heart goes. Telling.

I don't think they are demons from Hell either. I don't think Hell has matching red outfits for everyone, but what do I know?

I do think BlueManGroup is really cool... They did a neat 9-11 tribute, photographs of little pieces of paper that floated into a neighborhood in Brooklyn. It is profound in it's simplicity. I kept a link on my profile page.

Exhibit 13... BlueManGroup 9/11 tribute

Interesting. That symbol appears to approximate a traditional script character - it probably evokes an oracle bone inscription. I wonder what it means in Chinese.
