So he isn't American, Justin? That's reassuring. They think we're barbarians as it is.
Not that there's never been a Japanese tourist whose done something embarrassing, but never on this scale.

I'm surprised no one's posted the Top Gear Atom segment.

That's just what the Chinese Govt would like you to do CheeseDuck.
The Olympics is ALL about politics.

I think the bag in the first picture is essential to pulling this off.

Who knew China was so dangerous? What with all the big mouthed animals, and all.
If ALL of the Olympics looked like that, I'd be tempted to watch.

I need to replace my keyboard from all the drool I just dropped on it.

Anecdotal? Sure. A powerful message to the British? You bet. Why am I talking like Donald Rumsfeld? Who knows.

Agreed. It looked like he kept his sh*t together pretty well considering the circumstances. Speaking of, he doesn't seem to do any elimination of bodily wastes.

I'm a former teacher, current counselor at an urban high school and disrespect for teachers is epidemic. The problem -- sez I -- lies squarely at the feet of the parents.

Part of the blame also goes to lousy teachers who have no business in the classrooms.

Then people will wonder why test scores are declining.
