The Origins of the 2008 Beijing Olympics Logo

By John | Wednesday, October 3, 2007 | 4 Comments

A friend of mine in Taiwan emailed me this, who got it from a friend. I have no idea where it came from, but since 8Asians.com is already banned in China, I thought some of you might find this cartoon kind of funny, in a twisted sort of way icon smile The Origins of the 2008 Beijing Olympics Logo

As you know, China doesn’t exactly have the best human rights record (nor does the U.S. for that matter), and executed about 5,000 prisoners last year.

I can't tell you how proud I am to read that you are banned in China! Though I think in high school you would have been least likely to have been voted "Future Thought Criminal/Enemy of the State". Congratulations. I think this ban should increase your readership in China quite a bit.
