Beijing 2008 In Lego

jedie noted an impressive rendering of the Beijing Olympics in Lego. Featuring 300,000 bricks, and 4,500 Lego people, it was built by the Hong Kong Lego User Group. Yes that exists. Amazing. I'm pretty sure that the lighting inside the water cube was not made using stock legos. At least, none in my giant cardboard box.

    They actually used several Tyco blocks, but then painted them so they'd appear to be Legos.

    No more clutching-at-straws-to-be-news-stories to promote Olympics related advertising.

    No more Olympics, please. It's NOT news for nerds. It's news for jocks.

    What you said was completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, but if by "monk" you meant "terrorist who burned up shops and killed people", you'd be right.

    The logic escapes me. If we were really up to a silly operation like this, we'd do it AFTER the Olympics end, not just before they start. Something as nonsensical as that could only be done by George W. Bush.

    Go back to reading your "party approved" propaganda lit. We aren't interesting in the "party line" here.

    Go back to believing the garbage that your "Mainstream Media" spews about China and trying to defend American imperialism as they fuck up the world in the name of "freedom and democracy."

    Hey Mr. American Imperialist Pig: Your president is a douchebag, and that reflects on all of you. You have no moral authority to criticize us, especially when you sponsored terrorists to attack our land, burn our shops, and kill our people.

    There you go with the "Americans' Burden," close relative of the "White Man's Burden" that was the dominant justifying principle of European imperialism in the late 19th-early 20th centuries. And LMAO at "Freedom", if by "Freedom" you mean the freedom for your subjects to implement a puppet government under your control, then yeah, that's freedom.

    The American government supports the Free Tibet movement, along with anything anti-China, such as the East Turkestan Liberation Army (which is aligned with Al-Qaeda and sent its fighters to Afghanistan).

    It makes far more sense for the Americans to contract this hit on Lhasa to mess up the Olympics. Why the hell would we create a mess just in time for our own Olympics? Wouldn't it make a ton of sense for the Americans to do it instead?

    The kind of thinking that makes you believe that we staged the attacks is utterly ludicrous, spurred on by the anti-China propaganda spewed by the "Mainstream Media," and completely defies logic and common sense.

    LMAO, look at the post WW2 history, which is what I was referring to anyway, and you're 1/4. FAIL. Iraq and Afghanistan are not works in progress, they are epic failures, puppet governments whose legitimacy are not recognized by their own people.

    You didn't liberate China, WE liberated China. You had very little to do with the Sino-Japanese war, there were maybe a few thousand American pilots fighting in China. That's IT. WE held off the Japanese long enough so you could finish them off.

    "Democracy" and "Freedom" are merely codewords for American imperialism. The Evil American Empire has absolutely no moral standing on anything, and all you have is "Mainstream Media" anti-Chinese propaganda to listen to. No wonder you're such a douchebag. American Imperialist Pigs always end up that way.
