Rob Riggle - Chasing the Dragon
Even I felt insulted by some of this commentary - sure, the racial stereotypes are meant in jest, but the squinty eyes stuff is a little much, especially considering the sore wound from Spain’s basketball team.

The Telegraph

“China’s Army of Student Fans Drilled Like Soldiers”
Never affraid to release controversial information, the Telegraph’s expose on China’s trained fans would certainly upset any host country. Honestly, though, did China really think they could essentially hire people with cheap tickets and get away with it? No one can get that excited about synchronized swimming.

The Onion

China Backs Out of Beijing Olympics
You knew this one was coming. Honestly. The Onion’s brand of humor has no place in the world of Chinese officials. I would be surprised if this one hasn’t been banned for years.

NewTeeVee

How to Pirate the Olympics
Great idea, not only turn major media conglomerates who paid major buck to get exclusive access to feeds, but at the same time toss a little gas onto the China-is-an-international-hub-of-piracy flame. My guess though, NewTeeVee doesn’t give a crap about any of that; and if the once did, they certainly don’t anymore.

The Fake Olympics
You can’t get 2000 diggs on a story claiming that the Beijing Olympics are fake and deceitful without raising an eye-brow or two. Just look at the comments - people are pissed. I guess you can’t get much more insulting than comparing their 7-year-old national-anthem singer(?) to Milli Vanilli. That is just wrong.

DeadSpin

If Team USA Fails… Will Whores be to Blame
Great work here folks, let’s make sure that everyone knows about Beijing’s problem with a rampant paid-sex industry. On top of that, let’s claim that if America loses, it will be Chinese whores who are responsible, not our team who might make the horrendously stupid decision to actually solicit one.

The Guardian

Giving Voice to the Olympic’s Biggest Traitor
Beijing is not exactly happy with Ai Weiwei right now. The creator of the amazing “Bird’s Nest” Olympic Stadium decided to take his international recognition for this amazing design, and turn it into an opportunity to speak out against the government. Maybe the Guardian can ask for a little leniency, seeing as they are the medium, neither the message nor the messenger.

SBS Global (and everyone else)

Leaked Practice Footage of Opening Ceremonies
Honestly, who is going to die here? A banned site would be the best of circumstances for whomever decided to sneak this film to the press. China was reportedly furious over the release, which made its way around the web faster than Michael Phelps in a 200 meter freestyle. You should probably add to the list The Australian, which appears to be the only remaining major news provider willing to show the video.
