Olympian Smog Masks

Read that article, and tell me that isn't just hilarious. Yeah, the whole thing IS obnoxious, but seriously? It's just like a total bitch slap in the face to China. I don't know, I feel like the Chinese government could choose something so much more important to get "annoyed" about, but our cyclists are what got the job done, and frankly: I love it. That would be like a group of people coming to America sporting little anti-Bush pins, or something else that would be extremely obvious . And no one would care because it would be true- Bush does suck enough to have anti-Bush pins. It's just really not even a big deal at all. And China's air may well be dirty enough to sport smog masks. So no apology needed, eh?.
The whole thing just seems like such a playground situation.
Like, "hey-- China, we think your air is dirty...?"
And then of course the forced apology.

One article high light that cracked me up was that someone said that hopefully the air would be clean for the athletes when the time came. ...
.
Uhh. What does that even mean? That air is now what the air is going to be then.

Whatever folks.
