Is anybody else curious as to how they pulled that one off? It looked pretty cool, and I would like to see what would happen here if we tried that. We would probably use CGI computers to do it instead of trying to get 250,000 people in one place and walking in an orderly fashion making letters. Looking at the pictures, it does seem kind of weird that there is hardly anyone in public until the parades and events. There leader might be a little out there, and they definitely have other problems with oppression and hunger, but in the pictures it doesn't look like a third world or poor country (at least not in the capital city).
