Quote:
BEIJING (Reuters) - Do not sleep outdoors to save money at the Olympics. It is banned to "maintain public hygiene and the cultured image of cities."

Do not let the stifling summer heat tempt you into streaking, do not get drunk nor set off fireworks nor wave "insulting banners."

Anyone with mental illnesses or sexually transmitted diseases is banned. Smoking is not allowed at Olympic venues.
There's more to the Article, i just quotes a piece.

damn no STDs Streaking, or Insulting Banners? good thing I'm not going to China for the Olympics

Nope. Not even the reporters covering it have uncensored Internet access. And the Olympic Commitee sat still for that, despite an earlier promise that reporters would have full access!!!!

WEENIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

come on now lets not ruin this thread with racism, lets just laugh at the rules they posted for the Olympics.

I say we all go to China get drunk, streak and sleep naked in the streets! That will show them to make us follow "rules"

When you disappear from the face of the earth, at least we'll know what happened to you.

The Chinees are taking this Olympics thing way to seriously. Somehow winning gold medals compensates for something. I hope they loose big time.
