Jk,you’re wondering ? why don’t you be the first to parade it around.

splunker, my bad. i’m glad local Chinese in Beijing isn’t angry at it. Btw,i was pretaining to the ‘Nolympic’ t-shirt, which is one the favorites among anti-China loons. my suggestion to you, go ahead and wear it around TNM square, so you can be famous.

What about “Free China First”? I always wondered why nobody made that t-shirt.

Au contraire, mon frère; I get high fives whenever I wear my Lei Feng T-shirt in China! Likewise foreigners could expect the same praise if seen wearing the 一切反奥运的行为都是可耻的 T-shirt, which is already being sold in Beijing.
I don’t beleive the “北京闹运” T-shirt would provoke violent reactions from Chinese either, but I probably wouldn’t wear the “中国加自由”T-shirt within a half kilometer radius of Tiananmen Square.

Here’s a T-shirt for sale in Beijing (25 RMB) that says “All actions against the Olympics are shameful!”

yea, I don’t like Bush, but I do NOT hate the republicans, no party is perfect ;-)

I wish China one day will ultimately reach democracy. One day at a time right? I long to see China and USA have great relationship again.

China and USA are two very unique nations, one ancient and one young. There’s so much to learn about these great civilizations.

peace to all!

It’s OK to be a little shameless when you’re trying to sell T-shirts. I’m actually a China-lover.

“中国加自由” Was a brilliant idea, loved it.

The first longer comment is saying it’s a shame HK people are more excited about the Olympics than Beijing people are, how HKers lined up overnight at the bank to get the new Olympic RMB 10 bills. A discussion ensues over whether those people are more excited about the Olympics or about the money.

That was my first thought as well, Bob. In fact the Danwei link that brought me to this website said “NOlympics T-shirt” which I assumed was intended to mean “No Olympics!”

Here’s another funny bit: when I try to type Beijing Nao Yun (北京闹运) in Chinese characters on my computer the pinyin automatically translates it as 北京脑晕!

My first thought is that it’s No Olympic

A much better idea would have the original Chinese characters 北京闹运 (Beijing Nao Yun) displayed prominently across the chest with no English.

Now that’s a shirt I would buy and wear in front of the Bird’s Nest stadium.

Want another wise idea for a T-shirt? How about this one? Since 中国加油 (Go China!) is now banned from banners at Olympic arenas, I would love a T-shirt that says: 中国加油 on the front and “中国加自由” (China add freedom!) on the back in traditional Chinese style calligraphy.

You could make a lot more money than Wang Xiaofeng with these 2 creative ideas! Good luck!
