It's not exactly what the villagers in a town in Southwestern China were after when they wanted the government to "green" a barren hillside that was once a stone pit. Green with foliage, they meant. Clearly. Not with oil paint.
Oops:
"A dozen painters spent more than 20 days painting the hill last summer. Large quantities of oil paint were used," a villager was quoted by a Kunming-based newspaper Metropolitan Times as saying.
