Under Cuba’s “new” president, Raul Castro, Cubans can now get their hands on some new gadgets: DVD players, motorbikes and electric rice cookers. Until now, these good were only available to foreigners.

And of course, in true Soviet fashion:

Lines stretch out the doors of major government department stores as Cubans gaze at the new gadgets on display.

Unfortunately, Cubans will have to wait for computers and microwaves, but word has it that they will be sold soon. Sorry…

But then again, there will now be a home for all of those unwanted copies of Battlefield Earth on DVD. And next year, Cubans will get all of our unwanted HD-DVDs!!!

The circle of life…
