So that live fish key chain souvenir didn't turn out to be very official, but this latest Olympic cheer, "Go Olympics! Go China!" (奥运加油!中国加油!) definitely is, as it comes with the stamp of approval of the Party Office of Spiritual Civilization Development and Guidance (GODPP), the Ministry of Education, BOCOG, and CCTV. There are four highly complex moves to the cheer, but don't worry because Danwei has this step-by-step pictorial guide to help you along. Expect to see lots of this on telly in the 64 days left between now and the Olympics. No excuses now — you have more than ample time to master the moves.

This week in Shanghaiist


Wow! There is actually a Party Office of Spiritual Civilization Development and Guidance? They must be in the same office tower as the Party Office of Lofty Titles and Bombast.
Wasn't there a Monty Python skit about that? :-)
