My first reaction to this picture was laughing. The image is kind of ridiculous, and it only gets weirder after you look at it for a while. It is, in fact, a conglomerate of world leaders - in teddy bear form - to commemorate The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. However, besides being just a ridiculous picture, you start to realize why it is so ridiculous. Our world leaders are depicted here as cute and cuddly, and completely accessible. I can't really speak for anyone else, but this is the exact opposite feeling I get when I consider our world leaders, particularly in light of the current duress encompassing seemingly the entire world. This is what the photographer seems to go for in this picture.
