The Chinese people have their say on the Olympics - by staying away in droves.
SIXTY THOUSAND EMPTY SEATS
WILT UNDER YOUR OPPRESSIVE GAZE.
LETTUCE LIES LIMP ON PLATE.
This is a comment on the way in which the Chinese People (there are so many of them they deserve a Capital P) are quietly protesting about the Beijing Olympics - by staying away in their droves. The mainstream media have noticed the numbers of empty seats but have not realised its full significance - as a slap in the face for the over-arching authoritarianism of the Regime in China.

G'day Denis,
I don't blame them. Everything Olympic is so 'over the top' these days, that I'd be staying away too even if they were on my doorstep - and I'm a bit of a sports lover. In my book the Chinese have many reasons to send a message to their authoritative regime.
