It's the first I've seen it Sneezy... a bad idea? Well, if it's offended a lot of people, then yes... who's idea what is it?? It was probably only meant in fun, yet it was a silly idea that's backfired.

It's been great to see China open its doors to the rest of the world and present such a welcoming face at these Olympic games. Their arrival on the world stage is still a recent phenomenon in world affairs.

I don't know... there are silly ideas... and then there are silly ideas.

The NATIONAL basketball team... sponsored by a Chinese country... PLAYING in China, utilizing the traditional chinese insult... not... the best idea.
