Has Shrek always borne a striking resemblance to Yao Ming? Or is it the other way around? These movie posters of Olympic athletes, (well, the Chinese team and Michael Phelps) were posted on Chinese web site Mop.com and brought to our attention by Chinasmack.
We think that the Hancock poster's text, which originally read: "There are heroes, there are superheroes, then there's Hancock" has gotten a fresh new ring to it: "In the Olympic games, there is a Chinese hero, and he is a superman". Mighty praise for Yao Ming but even he did not save China from a crushing defeat by Greece. In the meanwhile, the posters featuring hurdler Liu Xiang have lost a bit of their sheen with Liu pulling out of the Olympics.

Forget Tao Ming who is in fact a NBA thing.
I heard that, after Phelps got 8 golds which helped USA to stay in 2nd place, many countries want to add more event to Olympic:
Brazil want to add football of 3,5,7 players on sand and indoor;
Kanya want run of 11,000m, 12,000m 13,000m.....
China want diving of 1m, 2m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m, 8m, 9m....
Britain want to add horse of white, black, brown....
Thailand want, abart from men and women, you kow what, right?
I guess it's high time for USA to block all those fansy effords, to keep USA all time, at SECOND place, as long as Phelps is not test positive, lol!
And the IOC is planning on removing baseball (US kicked China's ass literally and score wise recently) and softball because the US has been too dominate. No other country faces that kind of discrimination.
No doubt China wants to add backwards speed walking and spitting for distance (and volume) to the Olympics and the IOC will probably give it to them.
As far as medal count goes, phelps is helping the Americans keep pace in the gold. But we're fine else where; China is gold or bust, really not much below that.
Phelps will not test positive for any substance. In the states he part-takes in a program voluntarily that does addition screening and testing.
To nanheyangrouchuan,
Every morning when Chinese open the door, the gold just keep rolling in, no matter how hard they try to resist it, to save at least a little face of USA. lol!
The whole Olympic game, started from the mobbed torch run, just symbolize a rising China. Nobody can stop it, including you nanheyangrouchuan whose raping addict can qualify you to be a US marine.
Hearty congradulation to China!
That haul is tainted with quite a few questionable judgment calls, mostly in gymnastics and boxing, especially women's gymnastics.
Enjoy it now, China will never get that position again.
To nanheyangrouchuan
--"China will never get that position again"?
I am not sure, maybe that's just a start. But one thing sure is USA will repeat the tragedy again and again, since your poor motherreich is going down down down. What a sinking feeling, lol!
The world can only tolerate so much bias and "bad judging" as well as underage gymnasts.
