The Meaning Of The Medals
A friend (HB over at Shades of Gray) sent me a photograph of a number of [UPDATED INFO] Chinese Peoples Republic of (North) Korea (As Tad noted in the comments that is two lies out of three) Generals VIP's(?) but with no caption as to what the medals stood for. Using Google and other resources, I was able to discern the true nature of the majority of the medals and I have noted them below and have indicated what they are as a public service.
KORECTION: The Tienamen Square medal is actually crowd control at 4th And Rhee streets in Pyongyang. Following the brave correction of my friend Daisy Cutter below, I must confess my manifest errors and throw myself on the mercy of the blogosphere.
I believe that this is a convention of hotel bellmen.

Actually, I believe that these gents are Generals in the People's Republic of (North)Korea. And, that is two lies out of three righ there.
How would you like it one of these cats said, "Hold my coat." Gad, they must weight a ton.

Deer kapitalist pigs:
Making phun of our medals is not nice. We are velly industlious people. We have velly many nuclear eggs. You should think about that before making fun of our medals. You do not realize these are not medals, eh? Pigs. These are orna . . . orna . . . (how say this word?) . . . [Sucking air through teeth] Ah! Ornaments. These are ornaments from Mercedes-Benz automobiles. See? Socialism for people good idea, eh?
