China Works Down Plagues List Before Olympics
Let’s add to our official Beijing Media Panic Checklist:
- Torch problems everywhere
- Lack of quality cheerleaders (okay, that’s just on our list)
- Oppressive rules and regulations
- Special care for “special” people
- Pollution
- Earthquakes
- Algae that eats pollution
- And now locusts are massing to invade Beijing in time for the Opening Ceremonies.
Really? Locusts? Good thing there will be evangelicals on-site to help with the impending frog invasion.
