"CATCH
With Gorbachev's Big Head"
May 2009
Here's a painting
of a mother and her child playing catch with a giant inflatable
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev head. In the early 1990s a company
in China mass produced hundreds of thousands of giant inflatable
Gorbachev heads thinking that Russian children would love to play
with them. Unfortunately they did not realize that at the time
Russia had outlawed ALL FUN and the heads were not allowed into
the country. They were bought by Dan's Back Porch Surplus in Lawton,
Oklahoma where they spent 20 years in a forgotten basement room.
Now they are available on eBay for $20 each, no reserve!
