Something for you to contemplate. I have absolutely no idea what inspired this cartoon from Leunig. Do not look for a hidden meaning! Laughing :

I think it's a sarcastic commentary on the reality shows on T.V. My take.

In the last posted cartoon, the panda (symbolizing China) is eating bamboo leaves which are in fact U.S. Hundred dollar bills--meaning they're feeding off the foreign exchange they get from selling us cheap goods.

It's quite a good one, i think, has a nice ironic subtlety . . .

Thanks from me, too, Setanta.
