Canon DIGITAL IXUS 60, Taken by Scott Kristiansen. St Petersburg, Russia,
Excellent example of how the Communist ideology has stifled innovation. The Russians are still making these vans today. Can you imagine working in the Marketing department of this company and having to get excited about trying to sell this thing. Marketing does have a place in raising expectations.
