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)
