Workers from Mongolian Cow, in Tongzhou, learn how to cheer for next summer’s Beijing Games during the seminar

Sessions are being held in Beijing and across China to instill a more polite form of sportsmanship ahead of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Participants are taught when it is appropriate to take pictures and not to antagonize athletes from former wartime enemy Japan.

Only the commies, only the commies...

The Chinese pretty much defined their group cheer at Tienanmen Square, TANK you very much.

Remind me to skip this next Olympics

[MimirsWell]

Hahahahaha! Really, these Chinese are the limit....I can’t believe the depths to which human dignity can be driven in order to make people behave so stupidly and not think anything about it.

LOL LOL

If I was a tourist visiting the Olypics in China I would be concerned about the food vendors.

Yikes!

Remembering 1980 (US boycotts Moscow Olympics over Afghannistan) and 1984 (USSR, six years from death, boycotts LA Olympics in retaliation, forcing EastBloc colonies to do likewise)...

I wonder whether this could be the Olympics where the US team shows up, the US gov’t representatives show up, but over here only the hard-core track’n’field fans bother to tune in...

I might watch the opening ceremonies. Maybe. And if I see too much Red, it’s going off.

RE RECYCLE EWEKTWONIKS

RE MAKE KLENE FOR U SWIM

When you see how easily the ChiComs can herd their subjects into stupid robotic Olympic human pet tricks ...... This reminds me how North Korea is today and how all of China was under Mao. Where robotic subjects were harnessed for murderous ideological wars at the whims of their leaders. Cultural Revolution but also other glorious Communist “struggles”

Fishing out primo plastic containers to recycle to serve soft drinks for 2008 Olympics

They may not have had any choice in the matter.

Cheer and look happy, or else.....

[metmom]

Picking trash out of that river is like spitting into the wind.

Just another reason to thank God that I live in the United States of America, all it’s problems notwithstanding.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Yeah, what you don’t see are the armed, stern-faced Chinese policemen standing behind the cameras encouraging them to be happy.
