The Internet must be open during the Beijing Olympics.

That was the message a top-ranking International Olympic Committee official delivered Tuesday to Beijing organizers during the first of three days of meetings — the last official sessions between IOC inspectors and the Chinese hosts before the games begin in just over four months.

Looks like all sorts of unanticipated complications are developing having the Olympics staged in a closed, imperialist, communist society. Not surprising.

unanticipated complications include squatting to take a crap!

Someone should tell Google. They maintain separate censored search results for those using Google’s Chinese site.

[Panzerlied]

And when they do, I’ve a flight of swine cleared for take-off!

[PetroniusMaximus]

Chicoms to IOC:

“Make us.”

[VeniVidiVici]

Oh, the Chinese will absolutely agree to this.

Then have connection problems the entire time the games are running.

“They maintain separate censored search results for those using Google’s Chinese site.”

I wonder if Google & Yahoo will turn in folks for “unauthorized searches” during the Olympics, too. Disgusting hypocrites.
