Subject: RE: BS: Olympics -favourite moment
My favourite Olympic moment was where the two Chinese ladies in their 70's were sentenced to a year's worth of re-education through labour for applying for a permit to demonstrate in one of the three designated official Olympic protest venues, against what they felt was inadequate compensation for the demolition of their homes. For some strange reason not one application to demonstrate was granted by the authorities leaving the official protest venues silent. The Olympics as brought to you by the politburo.
