Fake or not, that looks pretty cool. I wonder if the finished Building will look like the Fake Building?

just a symptom of their distorted thinking.
that they are so fearful they hide even this.
never everything else they are hiding during this olympics.
their image of confidence is paper thin, and they know it.

Did ABC show the shit flung around in the superdome after Katrina as well? Don't know about you but just hearing about that ruined New Orleans for me.

American media got nothing better to do than keep on finding bullshit like this to report on.

Face it, China is a superpower, instead of spending all this time and energy feeling jealous and nitpicking, why don't we spend that time and energy in fixing our own problems? I fear the quality of life for the next generation is going down hill because we can no longer be as economically dominant as we were in the 20th century.

Whining and bitching is no way to step up to the competition, somewhere in China they are laughing all the way to the bank, holding our debt.

Yep, the shit on people's roof as they waited to be rescue. It ruined New Orleans for me also.

but its big bad china. these americans need to find anything to complain about!

the tinfoil hat wearing nutjobs don't have any proof against the chinese gymanstics team, so they find something ridiculous as a cover for a building, which just happens to be used all around the world LOL

I don't even have the heart to tell you the truth about the "doctor" in that "infirmary" who made you strip to your undies and then grabbed your scrotum and told you to "cough." :(

I heard girls of all nationalities sometimes fake their orgasms. Does anyone know if this is true?

again, absolutely ridiculous. You'll find examples in just about every country where buildings under construction are being covered by a large vinyl slip. And it's becoming more prevalent.

All this is an example of is an anti-Chinese reporter running out of scandals to meet his paranoia towards the country's government.

Believe me, I have plenty of issues with China and how they present themselves, and how these games have been handled; but to report on this building as another example of such is absolutely asinine. I wonder who vetted this poor sap's article?

Don't mix issues here.

Those effing Chinese gymnasts are going to pay, damnit!
(and yeah, I feel bad for the young girls for the government fucking them over, but that is indeed a travesty). There is plenty of proof. Denying it is ridiculous.

This building "issue" is nothing. The sports thing is serious. Don't put me in your group of hyper-nationalistic reality deniers.

What do you expect? Have you been to Bejing? As nice as some of the parts are, lots of it is just a dump. Ofcourse China is gonna cover it up. They do not want to be embarassed. Infact, in lots of the places, they covered up the run down shopping strips with one huge wall so it would make teh streets more "clean".

Well, China isn't a place I'll be going unless I really have to. Pig is the #1 meat in the country and a Taiwanese friend there complains that the butchers fill the pigs with sewage water to make it fatter. Worse, she says people love to spit and stare as well. With manners like that I can't imagine hygiene being the best.

As for N.O., I went there one year before Katrina and had a blast.

I guess you won't be going back to New Orleans again since the shit ruined that place for you too? Or do you still like it because of your own FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE?? Maybe it just doesn't apply for China :roll:
