In a way I think its kinda cool to pick some designs that "honor" the host country.

Adidas used to do that with its World Cup soccer ball. You'll note the Aztec design in 1986, the images of space in 1994 (the Americans being the first to land on the moon), while the France 98 ball had red, white, and blue stripes in its design, and the USA 99 WWC ball had multicolored American scenes on it.

I think it really is supposed to just be a representation of China. The style may cause it to look like stuff from other cultures but IMO it is a good look for everything but the nameplates. Unfortunatley they won't listen or fix it before the games start.

If that was the intent, why not just go with red-white-and-blue versions of the Houston Rockets' unis? At least those are kinda-sorta legible.

It's funny that they decide to honor the host country when said country happens to be an enemy of the United States. :lol:

I was unaware that we were at war with China.

Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line,

If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!

Back on the scene, crispy and clean,

You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene.

We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

Yeah, they're pissed we stole their cuisine. General Tso wants his chicken back. :P

Although the orgins are not entirely known....The chicken of general tso was most likely invented here in NYC in the 70s.

Nope. The men will have barbed wire and the Chinese symbol for "life".

Newbies or old-timers, the PotD can be won by anyone.

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

There's one place that has General Tso's chicken, General Tso's tofu, General Tso's shrimp, General Tso's beef, and even General Tso's textured vegetable protein (i.e., stuff that's sliced in slabs and tastes like bologna).

My favorite "zuo guong jie" was in Morrisville, Pa. in a place called China Garden. They cooked it twice with a little bit of molasses. Good as it got until the proprietor retired.
