Maybe that line works with simple Chinese...

China apologises for roughing up journalists on eve of Games
 

Chinese police Tuesday apologised for roughing up two Japanese journalists as Beijing's Olympic commitment to allow foreign media freedom came under scrutiny three days before the Games opened.

This could also turn out to be entertaining!

I like it. Finally an Olympic Games that has absolutely nothing to do with sports.

Don't crack me up! :rotfl:

Now, what will happen when the North Korean Olympics come...? :hmm:

Seriously! I like playing sports, can't stand watching them on TV. Except maybe hockey. This year is fun because there's a big issue overshadowing the games.

My thoughts exactly. Can't stand watching sports, but sign me up to play - no problem! Loved soccer. Still do but haven't found anyone that still plays it.

Maybe they'll hold them in the Democratic Republic of Congo next. That might be good.....

How about Zimbabwe, that could be good :hmm:

:rotfl: :roll:

We don't trade with Cuba because they're godless communists with bad human rights records.

We trade with China because....DAMMIT

You could carry the flag Steed! :D

Are flip..................:damn:

Mop please.

And we haven't even got to the opening cermony!:roll:

I have zero interest in the summer olympics. Winter olympics is a different story. I don't think I'll watch 5 minutes of this.

In a crazy irony, I put my patriotism in a box for this kinda stuff. i like seeing the small countries win stuff (the underdog). This is where the Ugly American syndrome drives me crazy.

I love the summer olympics. Much more sports that I like compared to the winter ones.

What, you don't like biathalon! That's outrageous.
:rotfl:

I was in russia in 1994 and got to watch the olympics there. Just like the US, they only cover the sports that they are good in, so there was a lot of women's biathalon.:dead:

I didn't say that, I just said that there was more sports in summer that I liked. :D
