Talk about British Gweillo hambug.
After 17-days of a spectacular Olympics in Beijing, the focus is on London as the next venue.
The Brits know that they can't closely match what China and the Chinese put up to host the Beijing Olympics. And they can't stand being matched and compared to the Chinese. No way that Londoners can mobilize over 1 million volunteers to work gratis to help out. In the Western press, they have derisively called these youths, "minders," a stupid misguided allusion to "authoritarian" oversight over visitors to the Games.
London, they are hyping, is not Beijing. And they are coining the words, "Fun Olympics," as distinguishable to the "No Fun Olympics."
"No Fun Olympics" ? Who's kidding who ?
If "No fun" for the Gweillos and Westerners mean no booze, no dope, no boobs, no whores, no night-clubbing hooliganism..... yes, the Beijing Olympics is "No Fun Olympics."
And London 2012...... "Fun Olympics"? You must be kidding !
Who wants to be clipped and gouged in London, an overpriced, seedy city where nothing works. The subway stinks. The city is filthy. And but for foreign money from Arab countries, Russia, and Asia-Pacific, London would have become a "basket case."
Yes.... "Fun Olympics." Yes, British hambug. Those fading colors of Great Britannia are apparent. Click on:
