Very interesting lead slide.
by Anonymous436 (not verified) on Mon Jan 14, 2008 05:26 PM PSTVery interesting lead slide. Notice, please, how the name PERSIAN GULF is written as if for Iran and Iranians themselves. If this was an attempt to say the Gulf if Perisan Gulf, then shouldn't the name have been written in the sand in a way that it could be read from the sea. Just a thought. I must be fucking nuts.
Would have loved to see it up close.
