That was beautiful! Combining Olympic sports maneuvers with something so Chinese as the Monkey King was genius, and the artwork was fantastic too. I doubt China could do any better than that commercial.

Yep, 'Another Jake', and Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals and that pissed off Hitler. Let's do something to piss off the Chinese!

Actually, boycotts are TREMENDOUSLY effective, but that's hardly in the spirit of the games is it? Heck, there was an Olympics in Nazi Germany... not a very good one, but ONE nonetheless.

Nice music. Who knew traveling in China was so dangerous?

Is this some kind of allegory on the problematic journey of the olympic torch?

Suddenly I want to see the Monkey King's movie again.

More informative than I expected from the summary I've seen in a couple places so far.

One caveat is that at distances larger than the size of a magnet, the force will start to drop off as 1/r^4, which is really fast. If you had an unobtainium small magnet that can pick up a car at 10 cm, it would struggle to pick up a paperclip at 3 meters.
