Olympics

More Olympics (pseudo) controversies ...
Hannibal Lector US Olympic cyclists were spotted wearing masks in the Beijing airport and on board of the aircraft. So where's the outrage? They just want to play Hannibal Lector.

This is not gay Olympics so quit saying this is a "coming-out" party for China already.

Chinese police continues to beat up journalists on sight. Two Japanese journalists were roughed up by the police in the midst of reporting the terrorist attack in Xinjiang that left 16 police dead .... With this beat-up journalist on sight policy going on, I feel much safer reporting the event three thousand miles away, at the comfort of my home.

China is poking some holes on its firewall, at least briefly, so foreign journalists can enjoy all the porn and anti-reactionary websites they used to enjoy just like when they were at home. But I doubt one can see the tank man. Again, like CTGZ or Chang Ting Gong Zi, (what a name, I wish I have gotten it first), or other angry or not so angry youth from the New Yorker article, they can always bypass the Great Firewall of China by using some proxy server when browsing banned websites.

Chinese volleyball living legend Lang Ping is coaching the US volleyball Olympic team. And she has an English name Jenny.

  1. they might made a mistake when they beat the Japanese Journalists (thinking that they are HK jounralist) and they immeidately apology and said sorry to the Japanese, but HK SCMP Journalists did't have the same favor, HK journals were also beat by the Police and finally HK Journal have to say sorry to the Beijing Police before they got released, I don't think they dare to beat CNN or BBC journalists

    sounds exciting, well, ... in a platonic sort of way.

    my egocentric gamer self somehow convinced me that all your medals are, they belong to me.

Barber Shop in Chinatown

 Nowadays I loathe to have my haircut, that's why I seldom have mine cut, maybe once or twice a year. I went back to Chinatown. I could ...
