But now we're finally getting that feel-good story out of the Chinese capital that we all needed. Why yes, it does involve nudity. The Bangkok Post has an exposé (hehe, bang cock) on the practices the Chinese used to whittle down the applicants to the 200 girls that would lead each participating nation into the stadium during the Opening Ceremonies.

In an interview with one of the girls who competed for the high profile job, the 20-year-old college student Zhang Fan told the paper that the girls were put in a room and teachers measured them with a ruler. No specifics were given but the measurements were called "bone measurements" which typically include measuring the width of shoulders and waists, length of waists and height.
