YouTube Yanks Free Tibet Video After IOC Pressure
RevWaldo writes "The International Olympic Committee filed a copyright infringement claim yesterday against YouTube for hosting video of a Free Tibet protest at the Chinese Consulate in Manhattan Thursday night. The video depicts demonstrators conducting a candlelight vigil and projecting a protest video onto the consulate building; the projection features recent footage of Tibetan monks being arrested and riffs on the Olympic logo of the five interlocking rings, turning them into handcuffs. YouTube dutifully yanked the video, but it can still be seen on Vimeo. (Be advised; there is some brief footage of bloody, injured monks.)"
Who gives a shit? The Chinese government would do better by its citizens by massacring these bastards. They're not the good guys, not by a long shot. When did trying to spread a primitive religious social structure that has a rigid caste system, brutal laws involving maiming and torture and a hierarchical power structure with zero vertical mobility make you one of the good guys?
Having tolerance for ancient primitive religious orders is a flawed ideal that ought to go by the wayside. I wish our society was as evolved.

"China" is easier to say and spell than "Guantánamo", eh?
fuck you assholes... complaining and whinge is all you can do since China has the atom-bomb-insurrance to protect itself against you fucking CNN-controlled assholes...
Yes, you are very enlightened in your American bashing. Perhaps look into the NDP and let me know how Nazism died 60 years ago. Then ask yourself why Germany had to ban the use of swastikas. Like you said, who people vote for gives you some idea about them. Of course, it is more fun, and karma positive, to have a go at the US. Excuse the dose of reality.
