Report: China's Official Olympics Website Rips Off Games

China doesn't deserve the Olympics. Don't be surprised if there are mass protests about freeing Tibet during the games.

Heh, Protests? During the Olympics? You must be kidding. The Chinese government will be cracking down so hard on that stuff, you'll barely be able to say you think the government doesn't pee liquid bliss and fart baby giggles without police jumping you. I think we can all look forward to a great deal of Olympic coverage being interrupted, people not able to say anything at awards, and other good ol' thought control.

Gotta love Communisim. Remember in Communist where ever, you can spend your entire life working on something ALONE, but at the end EVEYONE gets credit.

I hope some Olympian makes a biting remark about China after competing.

I heard the government's gonna shut down all the factories in Beijing a week before the Olympics, to see if the pollution clears out.

This reminds me of what Mad magazine said when they named China getting the olympics one of the 20 dumbest things of the year

China gets the Olympics: human rights get the shaft.

(complete with tianamen square tanks donning olympic flags).

Why do we still give thme the olympics.

Thank God I don't live in China. Their goverment has ruined their country.

Why the fuck are the Olympics being held there?

LOL. thats nothing!

You should have seen the cars they "designed". 90% are "inspired" by luxury brand.

I think that China is aiming for very chinese olympics by crushing human rights more than usually and by pirating all their advertising:

I am cautiously optimistic that if we are gently accepting of China, and slowly allow them the privileges of being in the international community, that they will in turn, slowly reform. It's only been 30 years or so since the open door policy allowed (pretty much) free entry of foreigners, and Chinese people to move out. It sucks (to put it lightly) for these people living in the transitional stage where they kinda get shat on as China changes; but think of how Russia "changed" (there's debate on this): all at once.

It didn't really work out for them; even now, 18 years later, Russia feels the economic and social (see: Old people begging in the street) shock waves of the rather disastrous fall of the USSR.

Notice: I've visited the run-down tower blocks of Russian industrial cities and the hutongs of China; but I am not an economist!

I have to say that allowing the chineese to host the olympics is moronic. With them ripping off products, games and anime to promote the olympics, poor air quality, human rights violations; I have to wonder what the hell the olympic officals were thinking. I think that every country should protest as china has done plenty to piss off everyone.

I'm glad not to be going to the Olympics. China's pollution levels are ridiculous (don't go for a brisk walk in the morning, or your poor lungs will sufer the equivalent of smoking like five packs of cigarettes). Not to mention the amount of lead that leaves in their air, soil, water, etc.

CHINA's economy will be fine (the Olympics will be there, remember). All the little people getting no money for the food they could barely afford to begin with will suffer, but if China cared about them...well, just look at their history books and what little information gets out about life there now.

China doesn't care. It's got millions more where those destitute people came from, and it will just work the survivors harder, or compensate them less (if that's possible; I'm not sure it is) to make up for any losses. Or more likely, it will subcontract to even cheaper construction locales with even fewer (again, not sure it's possible) health or standards enforcement.

Reminds me of the Seether song in which they're like:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOHOOOOO
You're such a fucking hypocrite!
