Collectors' Items: Free Speech Oppressors

This adorable little ad campaign from Reporters Without Borders showcases what it's like to supporting a free press in countries where "committing journalism" is a criminal offense. You'll see all of your favorites: Putin, Jintao, Castro, and Ahmadinejad, though it appears Mugabe and Myanmar military junta leaders like Gen. Than Shwe have been left off the list.

Collect them all!

With regards to: "You’ll see all of your favorites: Putin, Jintao, Castro, and Ahmadinejad, though it appears Mugabe and Myanmar military junta leaders like Gen. Than Shwe have been left off the list."

I don't know any Chinese statesman, or rather, President of the People's Republic of China who has a last name of "Jintao". His last name is Hu and the sentence should read "…Putin, Hu, Castro, and Ahmadinejad…". There are other cultures in the world where the last name is actually placed in front on the person's name, denoting the importance of family first, and as much as dear Jintao has committed much crime with regard to free press in China, he does deserve even the common courtesy of being called the right name, don't you think?
