The History of Beijing's 2008 Olympics Logo

I received this as a Powerpoint in French, and translated the title screen into English, then scanned it as a movie. So can't take credit, but it's good.

The Olympics are no longer about "sports" and "unity", one must also remember that they are a brand name that make a lot of people very very rich. Fuck the olympics, they are the playground of multinational corporations just as bad as china.

This cartoon is right on target.

@everlastingbio I don't know. What I do know is that they have a right to hold what religious views they believe. Your "social moral systems" have included the murder and torture of thousands in recent decades for no other crime than exercising religious belief.

Like it or not, the simple fact is that European ideals of freedom of religion are superior to your oppressive "social moral systems."

also, don't forget we have 1.3 billion people. .......so religion is never big issue in china. also, people do have freedom for religion here in china, but any crazy person who would like to use religion to destroy china's social stability would definitely be punished!!!!!!!!

@tojasonharris haha, you think i don't know that? but do you believe they're the true beliver of GOD? Most so-called christians believe they somehow suffered great disasters like diseases, or death of family, and they just need spiritual support. we're never born to required to believe in GOD. We believe in science and technology, and we have our own thousands of years social moral systems. western religion, get out of china! christian, go back to europe, where europeans would never believe now.

@everlastingbio There are estimated to be 40 million Protestant Christians in China. That does not include Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christians.

@tojasonharris stupid. chinese never has any religion. you stupid. don't think everyone is the same as you. don't think you know everything.

@HumanRightsVideosTib This is not about the death penalty you bigot. Free and lawful societies may or may not choose to use the death penalty.

This is about a shocking record of human rights abuses over many decades. This is about China not being a free and lawful society.

@Bush1134577 Perhaps you should do some research on China's human rights record. To this day, religious freedom is tenuous at best.

[tojasonharris]

Brilliant. This is an effective way to help people remember China's horrendous record on human rights, most notably religious freedom.
