'Spare a thought for the military junta in Burma - it too has its problems...' 'Catatonic, no feeling in skin, deaf, no brain! blind, no heart! Prognosis - causing disease to others but military life support continues'. 19 May, 2008

- Description
Shows an image of a hideous man with huge teeth, dark glasses and his military uniform sheared off to show a chest with no heart. There is also a gaping hole under his cap revealing no brain. Words all around the figure indicate that he is deaf, blind and catatonic and has no feeling in his skin, no brain and no heart. Refers to the failure of the Myanmar military junta to accept foreign aid in the wake of the catastrophic effects of Cyclone Nargis on May 2, 2008 which has meant many more deaths and more misery than might have been the case. This figure is probably Than Shwe, head of the military junta.
