I didn't really know about the funk (though I could've guessed by some of the posts on here), but hope that if gold metals are what the Chinese need, I hope they get them.
Will golds help get more Chinese men laid? I sure don't require him to show me one.  |
Fuck whatever you read about China in a Times article or any other Western media outlet.
It doesn't actually matter what China wins. People are going to think whatever they want to think about China regardless of how many medals they win. If China wins the most medals, people will just think it's only because they have 1.3 billion people or the government grows athletes. If China doesn't win the most medals people will think China sucks because they have 1.3 billion people and can't even win the most medals on their home turf.
