"What You see Might Not Be Real," by Chen Wenling depicts the Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff as a devil, horns and all.

The bull, which represents Wall Street, is farting because in Chinese "放屁" (fang pi) literally means to fart, but in slang means to bluff or lie.

I zoomed in to confirm if the bullhorns were piercing posterior.

Instead, I am subjected to Madoff cake that could feed three wedding parties.

Why?
