2008 Beijing Olympics Logo
The 2008 Summer Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. The emblem for Olympics 2008, entitled as the "Dancing Beijing", was first displayed in August 2003, in a ceremony attended by about 2000 people at Qi'niandian, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in Beijing's Temple of Heaven. The emblem comprises a red seal with a calligraphic word for “jing”, the national capital, that weaves elements of traditional Chinese society with athletic features. The open arms of the calligraphic word represent the invitation of China to the world to share its culture. As a whole the “Dancing Beijing” represents mutual trust and an expression of self confidence, standing for the solemn yet sacred promise that Beijing has made to the world and humanity.




It's interesting how the author of that story doesn't expose the artist behind that logo. It's obvious that freedom-loving/patriotic Chinese people don't have many reasons to celebrate & dance, beside the fact that they haven't been shot by 1 of the peoples' "republic" soldiers:

Origins are a part of a subject that are truly mysterious, and always will be.

Often, the most difficult thing to understand about a person is who they are and where they are coming from - this is applied to other subjects too, like the chinese olympic logo.

When one fails to make others aware of one's origins, then others can take it upon themselves to create one's origins for him.

Essentially creating an entire fabrication of lies, stopping the individual in question from ever having the possibility of exposing those lies because of the simple fact that as a society, we don't tend to talk about our origins very much*.

This has been done in the context of the chinese olympic symbol (even if it is a parody, it is a parody of the creation of the symbol), for the intent of causing shock.

Hench when you get individuals who ask a writer "And how did you come up with the title?" are then told random bull-honkey because the creator can't be bothered to explain his inspiration to people who aren't going to listen and take his words seriously.




*After all, we don't actually know how the organisers came up with the idea for the emblem, do we?

haha I know what you mean, I like all of those videos. The new olympics logos are ugly. Especially the London one. Anyway, I agree with you. This forum-thread would fit perfectly in the Jokes forum or whatever works.

It was not in the Jokes board, which IF it was at the first place I might have a smirk in my face for respecting the creativity of the cartoon drawer instead of reporting this racistic thread. The intent of the OP was clear, but now this despictable message is moved, we can interpret it as you see fit.

Those 2 people are Chinese-propagandists & con-artists. They tend to lurk at this website looking for any forum-thread made by people, who want Tibetans, Mongolians, and all of the oppressed Chinese folks to be set-free from the Communist Chinese government.

Tibet monks are shot by Chinese Guard
How terrify(ing) it is.
I wish it were not [...] real.



That short video shows of some of Chinese government-soldiers vs. fleeing Tibetans:
