When LEGO Gets Serious

We’ve seen just about everything made out of LEGO. The obvious, the franchise, the religious. This site, Legofesto, takes it to a whole new level. The creator uses these Danish building blocks to display world events, typically involving war zones and incidents that have incited international rage, such as the Abu Ghraib torture charges in Iraq (The LEGO Lynndie England looks better than the real one).

The Burma Monks

Darfur

G20 Protest

Sri Lanka

Waterboarding

Iraq Murder/Rape Coverup

Israel vs. Hezbollah

Here is one from the Israel-Lebanon war of 2006, when it was alleged that Israeli missiles hit Lebanese ambulances. Wikileaks documents state that Iran was arming Hezbollah with weapons using ambulances. So even sometimes Lego doesn’t tell the whole story. (larger version not available)
