2008 Bejing Olympics

[Mahon]

Everyone strapped for an exciting olympics?
This is by far going to be the most interesting one yet. Yeah, the olympics have involved more politics than sport, but who can't resist watching a little Table Tennis... or watching for something out-of-the-ordinary during the Opening Ceremony?

The Tibet issue has been the highlight of the olympics so far. Seeing the footage of protesters trying to extinguish the flame in London was BY FAR the most amusing thing I've seen this year! The amount of security that is needed to prevent protesters from getting near the torch bearers is astounding. 3,000 police in Paris, just for a torch. Oh yeah, and some are on skates!

I think Tibet needed this event for the world to start reacting to the insanity, though, I am disappointed that Taiwan hasn't also been brought up... it was predicted a while back that Bejing 2008 was a mistake, but we'll have to see what all happens! There's a world full of protesters!
