China's Deadly Silliness

I wonder if dictatorships know how utterly silly they appear when trying to use umbrellas to prevent CNN from reporting on the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre:

Truth is, I am much more likely to remember these reporter's dances around these silly security umbrellas than I ever would any of your basic stand-up, nonbothered reports that would have been made in their absence.

Silly dictators.
