Insert your own punch line here, I'm just mad that I didn't find it on Ebay first.

    From the article:
    "Already notorious for copying Western goods ranging from trainers to champagne, China is building up its replica reputation with a miniature Mount Rushmore, an Eiffel Tower and an entire Austrian village."

    Instead of Mt. Rushmore, I wish they'd focused on the Chief Crazy Horse Memorial. They might have finished it before we do. :) (I would drive, nay, walk to South Dakota if this thing is ever finished in my lifetime.)
