Since the British press has been merciless when it comes to covering the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese peoples, and the Chinese athletes, let me spade a bucketful back at y'all Britons.
Fact is that eight (8) minute show at the closing ceremonies at the Bird's Nest comes out short in creativity, imagination, and aesthetics. Worse, it not only failed to highlight Great Britannia at its best..... it actually displayed British decline, economic recession, and a pitiful tepid performance in Beijing.
And the Mayor of London, Borish Johnson is shown to be a fat slob - overweight, out of shape, and crude in manners and civility; not very Britishy. He is more like a "poster boy" for junk food and McDonald's. Johnson did not even have the basic decency to shake the hands of the Beijing mayor for hosting a successful XXIX Olympiad. What ever happened to British manners ? Consider that London, the once great city that Johnson runs, is now gripped by turmoil, including hooliganism, crime, and broken infrastructures. Read how the Economist says about his mayorship:

Hail to the Queen. The Brits have to plucked an American, Michael Phelps, aka "The Great White Hope" to help them render a facade of "feel good" vipes. And look at how far down the barrel the Brits have to dig just to put up a credible sports icon, namely a "wash-out" soccer star, David Beckham, as their fading "Great White Hope."
If there is a metaphor of past glory of Great Britannia, it is David Beckham.... old, aging, and "wash-out" can't play anymore. From all global Chinese to Hollywood, "You can have David Beckham and live on the past glory of "The Great White Hope." We know soccer, and Beckham is not our hope.
Given how bad and worsening the British economy is these days, and the steadily declining European Market, it is no wonder that the British news media, in conspirary with their American news media ratpacks, have been relentless in their vicious attacks and bad-mouthing of China and Beijing's staging of these Olympics Games.
Between now and 2012, let's see if y'all Brits can pull off half of what the Chinese people have done and accomplished.
But before you get into that, get your Lord Mayor Boris Johnson to lose some weight.
Lose some of that bulk, fatso ! Click on:
