Soldiers operating the huge scroll that formed the centrepiece of last week's Olympic opening ceremony had to stay hidden under the structure for up to seven hours, wearing nappies because they were not allowed toilet breaks, state media reported on Friday.

Nearly 900 soldiers were hidden underneath the scroll, many of them moving giant printing blocks with Chinese characters, the Beijing News reported.

"The performers for Chinese character parts went into the models underground at 2 pm, and after getting in there they could not come out," the newspaper quoted choreographer Han Lixun as saying.

"The underground area was so hot, there were 897 people there, and they had to wait until they finished their performance," Han said.

"So altogether they had to stay there for six to seven hours, and they could not even go to the toilet, so they all wore nappies," Han said.

[Mr. Brightside]

So where is the workers union?

If the communists are so pro-union and the US is so worker-hostile, why do those abuses go on there and not here?

[Gloucester]

Does the term Red Diaper Baby make more sense now?

Maybe. It depends...

[Dr. Ursus]

So did the Chinese girls,excuse me,women’s gymnastic team!

[Army Air Corps]

They were dedicated to the movement.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

[LibWhacker]

[HIDEK6]

Aren’t they worried OSHA will shut them down?

[gridlock]

If the communists are so pro-union and the US is so worker-hostile, why do those abuses go on there and not here?

It's not exploitation unless somebody is getting rich...

Oh... Wait a minute...

`Yellow River’ by I.P. Freely

So long, boy you can take my place
I’ve got my papers, I’ve got my pay
So pack my bags and I’ll be on my way
To Yellow River

Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I’m going back to the place that I love
Yellow River

Yellow River
Yellow River is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River
Yellow River is in my blood, it’s the place I love

[Hatteras]

Depends... They are not just for watching Sunday football anymore.

When is the Left going to get up in arms over the treatment of soldiers? What will the stop loss rate be in China?

[HereInTheHeartland]

That is one of the best cartoons I have seen in quite awhile.

Like Dilbert is sometimes; too close to the truth.

[GSWarrior]

Got no time for explanations,
Got no time to lose.

[TigersEye]

China high tech state of the art display ... p ping.

[dangus]

[Wil H]

I wonder - did they all sh*t in unison?

[pgyanke]

I can’t get over the thought of what the smell must have been like under that floor... ewwwww...

[Berlin_Freeper]

I’m glad I didn’t know this when I was watching it.

[Kirkwood]

I’ve only spent a week in China, but was fascinated at how people had meaningless jobs just to give them something to do. I watched how some had the job of pointing to an excalator for at least 6 hours a day, every day. Nothing else, but pointing. They basically were the equivalent of signs, even though there was already a sign there to point to the escalator. One day the escalator wasn’t working, but they were still standing there and pointing down the hall to another escalator where yet another person stood and pointed to it.

[weegee]

SMELL-o-VISION!!!

[pandoraou812]

Ewww!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

A must-know factoid ....

[Jet Jaguar]

LOL

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“China high tech state of the art display ... p ping.”

That had to be heck on troop morale. Good grief.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“Red Diaper Babies...” Good one weegee.

Hey Swiss, here’s something your buddies might like to know.

[TigersEye]

Chinese troops aren’t allowed to have morale. They do what they’re told or become kidney donors.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“Obama will bring to them a much needed change.” Ha!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Yeah, communism. Those who work together and play together [the rest censored].

[JACKRUSSELL]

A ping list dedicated to exposing the quality, safety and security issues of anything “Made in China”.


Please FReepmail me if you would like to be on or off of the list.

(This can be a high volume ping list.)

[dalereed]

The only reason I opened the thread was to find out what a nappie was.

What language is that, sounds like a diaper to me.

[rdl6989]
