New torch and logo designs for Beijing Olympics

Our friends at the People's Cube have come up with new designs for the torch and logo of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Marking the continued persecution of Tibet, the spirited comrades at the Cube incorporate the horrific self-immolation of a Buddhist monk with the Olympic torch. They redesigned the official logo, which already incorporates a flame motif, with a fire exit sign.

As a bonus, they created a PRC "Official List of Easy People to Beat Up."

I have written a satire on the olympics, it's called "olympics scmolipricks" and can be heard at www.corneilius.net, on the music page....

I have also rewritten "I don't like mondays" as "I don't like Geldof!", "Hotel California" by the Eagles as "Dark Desert Highway", "the streets with no name" by U2 as "thieves with no shame" ... currenlty working on "Waterloo" by Abba as "Portaloo".......

Perhaps one of these might fit in with one of your articles of sublime satire.

Kindest regards
