Free Made cheaply in China Tibet
There are a couple commenters who get all pissed every time I criticize the dumb "Free Tibet" protestors. A while ago, I complained that "Free Tibet" protestors were stupid for disrupting the Olympic torch since it was an annoying form of protest rather than an effective or meaningful one. These protestors validated their stupidity holding historically inaccurate signs asserting that Nazi Germany never got to host the Olympics. Apparently for all their knowledge of great strides in human civil rights, these dumbasses never heard of Jesse Owens sticking it to Hitler with an assload of gold medals (and by the way...U!S!A! U!S!A!).
Well, these posts earned a bunch of crybaby bitching about how China has a horrible human rights record and for some reason my not worshiping the protestors renders me a hypocrite and blah blah blah. Finally, some sensible anonymous commenter suggested that if the anonymous Free Tibet people blowing up my comment boards really wanted to give China the proverbial finger, maybe they could stop consuming Chinese products like they're going out of style. The Free Tibet commenter hotly replied, "How do you know what products are in my house?"
Thanks to the intrepid reporters at the BBC, now we know at least one product in this self-righteous faceless activist's house that's made in China: his/her Free Tibet flag.
Apparently, most of the Free Tibet flags being waved hysterically by all the activists trying to put out the Olympic torch are MADE IN FUCKING CHINA! Then again, I wouldn't expect people who learned the basics regarding their political cause from the Beastie Boys (who, prior to fighting for human rights in Tibet were doing so on behalf of their right to party) and Richard "Gerbil Ass" Gere to conclude that buying Chinese goods--even contraband "Free Tibet" flags--might help the Chinese government more than it hurts it. Foreigners buying any types of Chinese goods just bolsters the Chinese economy, thus allowing their government to tighten its stranglehold on our short-and-curlies in terms of the massive debt the U.S. has incurred with them.
Of course, because the Chinese police raided the "Free Tibet" flag factory and shut it down, assuredly all the anonymous Free Tibet morons are going to point out that this is yet another example of egregious human rights violations on behalf of the commies running the country. I never said China's government kicked ass, and I'd certainly prefer if they didn't do things like shut down contraband flag factories, imprison dissidents, or harvest organs from prisoners. However, if you're so fucking bothered about it that you plan to disrupt traffic, protest a competition that serves to foster international cooperation and unity, and generally get in everyone's way, make sure your fucking protest gear is human rights violations-free, you hypocritical losers.

Too funny! I agree, China is an evil country, but organizing a protest and waving a (chinese) flag in San Francisco isn't going to do shit to stop the Chinese government. They don't give a fuck what demonstrators do in the US. If they really want to have an effective protest 1) quit buying Chinese products, 2) protest in China.

"Your whole movement is stupid because flags sporting your logo are made in China". That makes sense.
You thought the US got into the Second World War in 1939 following the invasion of Poland. You have no place criticizing anyone on issues of historical inaccuracy.
And the games foster international cooperation? Was that the effect of the Games in '36?

Hilarious. Unfortunately only those in the top 1% income bracket can afford to not buy things from China, since pretty much everything for sale in the US is either made in China or uses parts made in China. I do despise protesters - they're generally uninformed to a fault and have the zombie-like mindset of a cult member.
