reading the comments following the post is like reading many bellevues talking with each other. but i am glad that at least there are some not so brainwashed minds talking the other way. here are two examples:
I teach in Beijing. This is a country that will suddenly decide that ALL foreign sites are blocked and, as my students are all international, can't communicate to friends and family through yahoo or hotmail,and can only 'rely' on the fake news the regime makes up.
Boycott it.
When one lives in China one realises how the racist, ethnocentric 'west's' propoganda machines have much the same effect as those here. There are lot's of problems here as there are everywhere. No one talked about boycotting US games....mmm...well Bush is Christian with nice round eyes so he must be ok.....
anyway, talking about these mascots, they look fine with me. but do you find the slogan behind them somewhat funny - "one world, one dreaam", since when we have only "one dream"? better to change it "one world, one china"
