The caption says "Astronauts are amazed: the colour yellow can be seen from space."
Of course, not everyone thinks the proliferation of royalism is a wonderful thing. Many government employees are forced to purchase and wear these yellow shirts to work. Even when wearing the yellow shirt is not mandatory, people in power watch to see who wears them and who doesn't. It is seen as an indication of your loyalty to the kind (and royalist politics) and can affect whether your advance in your career. My advisor at Wisconsin calls it "Yellow Fever." Even though it's not tied to militant irredentism or xenophobia - the mandatory shirts and yellow flags everywhere combined with the giant portraits of the King glowering down at you in every public space...it all reminds me of another society...back in the 1930s....if only I could remember what is was...

While the viewership at 301NIB does appreciate the original content of this blog, it has recently come to our attention that there is no longer a disclaimer for fictitious commentary or characters. Just when we were questioning whether your interpretation of the paper displaying backward c's and g's really did portray the king's birthday celebration and not some anti-American uprising (you are part Canadian, are you not?) we feel that perhaps this is an effort towards accuracy, and ultimately, winning back the trust of your faithful readers (1300+). The ball is in your court, 301NIB. Can we trust you? Can you PROVE yourself worthy of our trust? What say you?
No.
