Olympic Promotion?=Propaganda?=The World Has Decided Not To Buy Into Your Bull S _ _t!

The Chinese government is having a bad time of it with the Olympics getting ready to start. They have had one protest after another and one black eye after another. They have been under the misled notion that it's the wrapper that makes the pie, I am unaware of any way to make s _ _t pie taste good! There have been ambitious building projects to showcase China as a country that has entered the 21st century. That they should be welcomed into the world community as a nation that will be one of the great world leaders and great societies only they have missed a few minor, well maybe not so minor points. They have had a series of protests over their consistant violation of human rights that have sullied their already sullied reputation. I guess they thought if they told the world they were good guy's everyone would believe them and dash to their side, wrong again. The Chinese have a reprehensible record when it comes to human rights, Mao, remember him, killed so many of his own countrymen the current government won't even field a wild guess, not even a ball park number. As recently as this past year they put down Muslim riots in Mongolia, now I'm not a fan of Islam at all, but, their method is maximum force, so much for the rule of law. But then again they make their own laws as they go along so, maybe what they did was actually OK. Well, maybe OK for them as is quoted by one Wu Jiaxiang a former government (which means we should believe everything that slides out of his mouth)and blogger who say's "We care less about human rights than other countries and more about sovereignty" nice direct quote which basically means - WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE WANT AND COULD CARE LESS WHAT THE WORLD THINKS, F_ _K O_F.

There is an awful lot of sour grapes coming from Chinese the world over and I really can't understand why. This is an interesting quote from Xu Guoqi, a Chinese born historian at Kalamazoo College in Michigan, "tried (The Chinese) hard to impress the world and to prove the country deserves respect and appreciation" good one Xu. But wait there's more "But the west used the Olympic torch relay and the coming games to shame the country and frequently remind the Chinese they were not good enough", I'm surprised this guy didn't resort to the we're not worthy line from Wayne's World. Give it all a rest Xu, you only get what you have coming when you deal with the free world. And if you don't like it here there's always the great and powerful China to call home again.

Human rights isn't the only problem the Chinese have. They have pollution on a monumental scale, I can attest to that one personally. Remember the lead paint on the toys, that one by itself will get you an awful lot of fans. The Chinese have a gargantuan military and I dare anyone top tell me it is for internal security only. The Chinese government is a principle backer of the Sudanese government, who, if you may have forgotten, is waging genocide in Darfur, but they are good guy's, really, I'm serious. Even Steven Spielberg, one of the most liberal guy's in Hollywood backed out of an advisory deal when the Tibet protests took off.

The best way to close this is with another quote from another Chinese luminary, Luo Qing, a media expert in Beijing specializing in China's national image (Masters degree in propaganda and a good old bull s _ _t artist) "We hoped that the Olympics would help people understand our country's achievements, that this ancient civilization has started a new chapter". " But from the torch relay, we suddenly realized that we were preparing to open the nations front door to welcome people who do not wish us well". Behave like civilized people, respect human rights, be ethical businessmen, stop the phony sincerity. The world isn't buying into this one, not one bit.
