Disclaimer: "Elian Pong!" is an interactive political cartoon, nothing more. We here at Missing Link Studios are making no statements other than it is ridiculous to put a 6 year old boy so far into the media and political spotlight, that his place as an answer to a Trivial Pursuit question is set in stone. It seems to us that the best interests of the child have been forgotten long ago by a press-conference-addicted extended family, a bragging-rights-seeking communist government, and a ratings/power hungry media. Seriously, people. Just draw straws. Flip a coin. Move on. Something.
