Meanwhile, in Bangkok...Unfortunate Transparency

As any Star Trek nerd can tell you, if you add an extra dimension to any regular activity, its complexity will increase exponentially. In this case, it's not so much a matter of being complicated as it is an unfortunate trick of the eye on a 50% transparent window display with a large tube on display behind it. While practitioners of this art can do amazing things with simple materials, it's even funnier when it happens unintentionally, which was the case (I think) in Paragon shopping mall a few months back when I snapped this pic.
I just pity the parent that came down the escalator and started getting strange questions from their kid seemingly out of the blue.
"Mommy, why is that big green man so happy to see me? And why is he winking?" Awwwwkwarrddd.Of course, my friend who was with me had to have me point out what was wrong, so perhaps it's just my dirty mind?

Greg I'm sure many a young Thai kid asked their parents what happened to the green man's eye and why he had a lopsided smile. Perhaps it was explained with the simple words 'He had a stroke. Viagra can do that to you. I think he's still taking it.'
