It's a really good thing that this thread is starting to get more on topic. I keep mistaking it for the T.V. thread. *facepalm*

So, I hope I'm not the only one unfooled by American news coverage talking about how "open" and "caring" and "peaceful" China is.

Seriously, They must have loved the chance to make a good impression before sending everyone Back to Work.

I only watch some shows covering the Olympics is because they make good-looking Chinese delicacies. O.o

GBM: One of the controversies of this year's Olympics was that some of the Chinese gymnasts were "supposedly" underage.

Two are proven underage, courtesy of a guy who went into China's main web search engine's cache.
It showed documents proven their age.
Google's caches were mysteriously empty.
China's playing electronic hardball.
Russia's got more balls, and they play with real ones.

Seriously...and I thought the first Cold War was enough already.

A potential order of events that could happen: Cold War 2 -> World War III (nuclear bomb time! ><) -> World War IV (barely anyone left, so you fight with rocks!) ><

I assume you mean 2016? No, not been decided yet. Toyko scored highest in the evaluations, though.
