1. "Phew! What a résumé Mao has: the founding father of the People’s Republic of China, a communist revolutionary, creator of the cultural revolution (in which most Chinese legacy: culture, religion, intellectualism were banned and swept out of the country), and accidental instigator of the greatest famine of all time (~36 million deaths?). Hardly leaves a fellow much time to exercise, and unfortunately that’s readily apparent from his portraits. Mao would most definitely have opted for Wii Fit, where he could get a little time in ‘at the gym’ without having to go to the gym. I can see Mao now, standing before his cadre of counselors, doling out instructions as he did simulated leg-bends. Of course, he would have renamed it the Mao Fit. Go Mao-ow! Go Mao-ow! Go Mao-ow!"
