2004年年底,杜芸芸从杂志上看到一条趣闻:在小布什与克里竞选总统期间,韩国一家卡通雕像馆的老板突发奇想,制作了一批造型十分夸张的两位总统候选人的卡通雕像,尽管每件售价高达100美金,但刚一上市就被双方的支持者抢购一空。接着他们又组织员工昼夜生产,等布什胜出时,他已赚足了两位总统候选人的钱,从而大发其财。 At the end of 2004, Du Fu saw an interesting anecdote from the magazine: During the presidential campaign between Bush and Kerry, the owner of a Korean family of cartoon statuettes whimpered and produced a cartoon of two presidential candidates with very exaggerated shapes. The statue, despite being priced at up to $100 each, was sold out as soon as it was listed. Then they organized the staff to produce day and night. When Bush wins, he has earned enough money from the two presidential candidates to make a fortune.
