  I completely agree. Vancouver, Canada hosting the 2010 Olympics is a disgrace. Not only are Canadians a menace, they have a huge Chinatown population.
  
  And those poor Tibetan seals.

  Who gives a sh!t about the olympics anyway? Half of the reporting from the Olympics is about lawsuits related to Meds that make 'em run real fast (or whatever they choose to do to stay sweaty).
  
  Now, back to the sign. To make the irony work, Tibetan monks should have a great runner at the Olympics in China. You think they can run dressed in window drapes and drinking Goji juice?
  
  Another thing that does not work in this irony is the ironic bedfellowship between US Turbocapitalism and Chinese Ultrasocialism.
  
  Nazi Germany was touted to be the defender against Russia and their bolshevik bullsh!t, until Hitler installed some railtracks and put up signs that work can make you free. Now, how ironic is that Chinese "capitalism" holds the same promise for masses working for next to nothing? Some socialism.
  
  The real Olypmics and freedom is on Ebay guys. That is the only place on the planet, which is not even on the map, but where Freedom and Capitalism works for everyone - provided you have some sh!t to sell to other people.
  
  Like Fake Steve and his touch-me products. Tactile.

  I think nazi Germany is completely more worse than China. Jews never did anything bad to people and were unfairly persecuted but the Monks ran a society based on slavery and beyond the grave debt. 99% of normal Tibetans do not want to return to that life. They're just pissed off with the Chinese and Muslims running all the business and making more money.

  Perhaps he's referring to Darfur where the Chinese have economic interests that coincide with those of the Muslim government, which is carrying out genocide on the blacks there.
  
  Chinese hackers have attacked the Save Darfur site as well as pro-Tibet sites:
  
  http://news.softpedia.com/news/Save-Darfur-Coal...
  
  As for Tibet and "99%" of Tibetans, why wouldn't "99%" of Tibetans relish a foreign dictatorship overrunning their country, looting it, massacring people, crucifying and burning monks, raping nuns, shelling the Potola (which was built in the *Seventh* century), burning books, and doing their best to destroy this ancient and admirable culture?
  
  Why wouldn't Tibetans be all on fire to approve the current round of brutality?

  No, really. Most Americans have their irony glands removed at birth, thus you never really understand irony. You certainly don't "do" irony - it's why your comedy programs have canned laughter - it's the cue for everyone to spontaneously break out in laughter because the joke was just soooooooo funny.

  Thanks, that's exactly my point. Whether this is photoshopped or a real sign -- and if it is a real sign, whether or not it's being held by a torch protester -- the sign is a distraction from the issue. Sure it's funny...a little, anyway. But it's pointless, which restricts how funny it can actually be. Real comedy, ironic or not, has a point of some kind.

  The sign draws attention to the issue, gets people talking about it. So it has a point, and it works.
  
  The not very brights can feel clever for a moment, because *they* knew (because they read it on a blog somewhere) that Germany did host the Olympics during the Nazi regime.
  
  The slightly more clever ones can stop and think for a moment, hey, what *is* the difference here? Are we still trying to reward human rights abuse, in the hope that the world watching will encourage China to allow freedoms we take for granted? Is being nice to China the same as appeasement in the 1930s?
  reply
• 

  TimK

  1 year ago

  Your post raises those issues effectively. The sign is too short, and too context-free, to do so.
  
  If "the slightly more clever ones" are the only people you're interested in communicating with, you need to stop and think what you're trying to accomplish. "The slightly more clever ones" are probably already on your side; if they're not, they could be more effectively reached by a clearer message.
  
  (later addition)
  On further reflection, your assertion that it's the "not very brights" who can feel clever because they know Nazi Germany did host the Olympics is nonsense, and it highlights the problem with this kind of "irony."
  
  The biggest problem with the sign, which I hinted at above by referring to its lack of context, is that as receivers of its message, we know nothing about the person behind the message. There is no particular reason to assume, as your "not very brights" do, that the person is ignorant of the relevant fact; there is also no particular reason to assume, as your "slightly more clever ones" (and presumably, by extension, you as well) do, that the person is aware of the relevant fact. We simply don't know, and this is the biggest reason why the irony doesn't work: we don't know whether it's actually irony or not.
  
  That's why I described the sign as "pointless": it may have a point, but we can't tell, so effectively it is in fact pointless.

  And to clarify, the irony is effective because it makes us answer, 'yes we did allow it' which begs the quesion why, and would we still, knowing what we do now? how will we feel about appeasing the Chinese 40 years from now after more atrocities toward human rights have been committed?
  
  Most important of all...how might history have changed HAD we and others boycotted, stood up to the Germans in 1936?
  
  I dunno, I got all that from the sign. Not so pointless after all is it?

  well Hitler must have been good at English. To use the word knit.
  
  stricken is knit in the german or the austrian language. I'm betting any germanic language you do not knit and purl, you stricken right and stricken left. This is the motion of the needle. In english the words probably come from knot. The word purl is also the word for bubbling up, as a stream. Now don't make me make all you programmers review knitting rules. Perhaps you should look at the inside of Steve's knitwear if your eyes can see that fine. And if you still can't understand, I may have to call on the spirit of all the wives of certain famous physicists that the some guys based all their ideas off of and these poor women ended up broken and bent, unspoken for and spent. They may be relieved or angry. WHO knows with women?

If you stopped looking at your navel for five seconds and picked up a book or watched a news program that wasn't only about the USA, you might be surprised to learn that your lack of knowledge about anyone but yourselves is what is the most annoying about the narrow minded portion of the population.

  Adolf Hitler endorses the Olympics in China. He likes the excellent parades, marches, large places filled with many healthy people and he is impressed by the excellent treatment of the opposition. He just hopes that no black man will win - something that troubled him during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
  
  He is especially thrilled that they carry on the tradition of bringing the torch from Greece to the Olympic Games - a PR-stunt which had been introduced 1936 by the Olympics organizer Joseph Goebbels.
  
  Best wishes from Austria!

  One person laughs. Madame Defarge goes on knitting with the wool pulled over her eyes. Cloris Leachman.
