Brave Tanks


I'll never forget where I was or who I was doing or who I was on the fateful afternoon of Soctubre 29th, 1989, when 4 armed tanks bravely stood their ground, preventing a meek student from getting to his meeting with Dean China.


Eventually, the meek students over-ran the tanks, hurling calculators and wax apples. Regardless of the eventual outcome, the symbolism of that singular moment has inspired and emboldened whole generations of tanks to stand up to punks.

The History Channel said it MUCH MUCH worse. They got the whole thing muddled. This version is much better and sparkles like Mr. Clean's head... his penis head. Wha?
