It is a little bit disconcerting when the largest financial stakeholder in the US government goes on the air and expresses concern about it’s debtor’s ability to repay. I mean, what would happen if China called all of their notes due, today? Would they foreclose on our government? Would Jiabao show up at the Whitehouse with a couple of marshalls, and be like “alight Bam, hand over the keys. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way.” These are all things that would have been important to contemplate before making rash budgetary decisions. This is one huge issue where I hope that I never get to say “I told you so.”

Elasun, the Chinese condom manufacturer, has employed a very clever sport themed ad campaign for the upcoming summer games. Images like one above can be found posted around the city of Beijing, coupled with slogans like “Sports make you health”[sic].

 For the image below, it probably would have been more catchy if they came up with a slogan like “sometimes you don’t want your swimmers to win.” …just an idea.
