    Is that a field of TVs spelling out "Go, Go"?

    It might be "60"

    This might be the only debatable topic in this thread...

    You and your obsession with "60!" It could just as easily be "09 09," but the point is that neither makes sense. Why would they reference a repeated number? Especially in the '08 Olympics.

    No, it's clear that "Go Go" is the only reasonable interpretation. They are urging on the world's athletes, while making a nice gesture to Japan, and its early anime cartoon, Speed Racer.

    You just want it to say "Go Go" because you want us to "Go Go" out of Iraq and forfeit the war on terror.

    It's clearly saying 60, 60...120 years more in Iraq, one-upping John McCain in a display of Chinese dominance.

    Whoa, whoa.

    Let's just cool off, back away from the Iraq, and take a look at a different image. Maybe we can find room for agreement.

    If you look at the first image, do you see a reference to military missiles or to, um, you know, the male organ?

    Reference to military missiles? I had assumed they were ballistic nukes armed and aimed at Taiwan.

    It's shocking how similar all the drummers look - same hair color, same skin tone/color. I couldn't imagine living in a place where everybody was so similar

    ya, that's why when i went back to china last year, i couldn't tell who my cousin is at the airport. i went to the hotel and called her later. :D

    my explanation was, every one of them girls at the gate looked the same. long black hair, skin tone, speaks the same language. how am i supposed to tell who is my cousin? :D

    So much for respecting the office of the presidency, Repubes create a fuss over nothing. Democrats are too wussy to level war crimes charges....
