Remember the Challenge of the Superfriends cartoon? Well, there was a character, Bizarro Superman, who reminds me a bit of India.
In my ongoing and likely futile attempt to document the subtleties of India, I will share these pictures of my bizarro universe. The pictures don’t really need captions, as they are funny on their own…but I will add them anyway.
India must be very proud indeed of the Army Man who would steal a gold medal off a Greek guy at gunpoint. It doesn’t say much for his marksmanship either that he would need to aim so intently from point blank range.
A winner for life huh?? What do they win? A year’s supply of cotton candy and an oversized pink bunny rabbit that starts leaking styrofoam pellets before you make it to the car?
What do circus skills have to do with being in the Army anyway? I am unaware of the deadly art of fitting clowns into a Volkswagon. I guess the knife throwing could come in handy though…if your enemy happens to be on a spinning wheel.
Everyday may not be a pleasant day in India, but it is always an amusing day if you’re observant.
And yes, just in case you were wondering: There are cows in the streets. And the guys who drive my car look like the crew of the Love Boat.

They really do look like love boat captains. You should tell them that. I’m so glad you captured the billboards on film. That makes me very very happy.
Reminds me of Mexico.
Maybe they are saying that Army Man always wins when he’s alive, and if he happens to lose and get shot up then chances are he’s dead…if he happens to survive then he won the battle against death, and is now a winner again–of course he’ll be heading back to the front lines to get his ass shot up again, but still a winner for life. Maybe they just couldn’t fit all that on the billboard??? Just a thought…by the way, why is everything in English?
I have a new caption then: “Army Man – A Winner Until Dead”. There is some truth in advertising for you.
I’m losing my memory – there was some dream about Bizarro Ein Gedi that involved you and Andy as acrobats. Was that your dream?? Why can’t I remember?? I think it was funny.
