No big deal, Tibet is part of China, right?
illegally made in China.
So, should we expect abnormally high levels of lead in our protest banners?
Oh, now I get it. Irony.
I like jokes.
*Paging the ever-so-annoying Alanis Morissette*
MMMMmmmmmm Irony
Stimulating the Olympic economy, three cents at a time.
@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado: No, that won't work, this is real irony. She sang about fucking coincidences.
@TattooedMess(iah): Wait, raeeeeeeeeeeeain in your wehhhhhhhhhhhdding day is not ironic?
Hmmm...there's irony, and then there's the stupid "Smarmy Freshman Political Science or Philosophy Major" irony. This is the latter, and it warrants a kick in the junk.
@TattooedMess(iah): I thought she sang about fucking the guy from Full House...
irony, i love thee
@suntastic: That was "You Oughta Know." And it was totally about him, Facebook told me so.
Some of us happen to enjoy exploiting other cultures for our own financial gain.
This story warms my heart.
the ironing is delicious.
Man up Tibet and quit whining about acquisition and control of your nation by an oppressive and brutal chinese dictatorship. So what if the chinese essentially invaded your peaceful homeland in 1949 and annexed you. I don't care if over a million of your people have perished at the hands of the genocidal chinese government. Do you whiny Tibetans know how much I have to pay for an oil change? Christ ! Go weave some new hats.
Same thing happened when I was in undergrad. A bunch of kids protested Nike using sweat shops to make their clothes by camping out in tents made in sweat shops. Idiots.
