- RikkiTikki, on 08/22/2008, -4/+33If we're going to associate China with foot binding, let's associate the U.S. with signs that say "No Coloreds Allowed"
- DatruKatalyst, on 08/22/2008, -0/+17I just don't like how there are legitimate ads mixed in with fake ads. There's real Adidas ads and then there are the shopped ones. What's the purpose in showing both without differentiating them?
And a note on the "footbinding" one from Amnesty Int'l - I think it was more pointing at the detainment of protestors moreso than footbinding. I don't see it wrong for Amnesty Int'l to make these anti-China ads, but wth is up with mixing consumer ads with political ads?? - twoifbysee, on 08/21/2008, -1/+12here are some more olympics ads, including some that you have shown but also a number of TV ads...i think my favorite might be the BBC ad by the Gorillaz

- tkcom, on 08/22/2008, -0/+9Why arrest 3-handers? Chinese will love to have them in factories!
- mesarah, on 08/21/2008, -5/+13Great compilation and absolutely wonderful...Thanks for sharing
- BirdCatcher, on 08/22/2008, -6/+13That shoe one is a little racist, they could say the same about English corsets.
- ZeeZee2k, on 08/22/2008, -1/+8Adidas should totally sue those fake free tibet ads.
- 8randon, on 08/22/2008, -1/+8the 7th and 8th ones do not seem like they're from adidas..
why would China support those two ads? - aserer511, on 08/22/2008, -2/+6http://www.smashingapps.com/wp-content/uploads/200 ...
ok those eyes are just ***** creepy - inactive, on 08/22/2008, -1/+5A barbed wire fence. Inspiring.
- arobar, on 08/22/2008, -0/+4Indeed, screw amateur sports competitions. We should focus on people who dedicate their lives to things that aren't about fitness, fun, and friendly competition... Right?
- funkymoose, on 08/22/2008, -3/+6Adidas really do the Tibet flag one? Didn't think they'd make anti-china ad's.
- beloitpiper, on 08/22/2008, -0/+3That was an odd collection.
- inactive, on 08/22/2008, -0/+3Do you eat waffles while playing piano?
- mechfluff, on 08/21/2008, -0/+3Nice link. That Gorillaz ad is sweet.
- funkymoose, on 08/22/2008, -0/+3Thanks for sharing. I like how creative your post was.
- inactive, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2Sometimes.
But it gets messy. - NoShameInc, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2maybe its the fact that the olympics are a worldwide event yet only American athletes are on the cover
- BirdCatcher, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2But these are real advertisements...
- lybrel, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2fake.
- s3rgi0, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2Ok, how about this one?
The next time the US hosts the Olympics we see ads popping up showing a lynching. I think that's a fair comparison. - Brododium, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2I'm no fan of the Gorillaz, but that was great!
- thisisparta, on 08/22/2008, -1/+3Why was the PS3 game there?
- Callidus, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2rofl nice slogan
*ahem*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksey_Vayner - Patrickdnj, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2Really? Because I'm pretty sure the point of the olympics is a gathering of nations to share in on one huge event. It's people like you I hate, the ones who bring out all the bad in everything.
- inactive, on 08/22/2008, -1/+2It's an anti-China ad.
It's not supposed to inspiring. - ZeeZee2k, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1White people are watching you?
- sizl, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1that was stupid.
- googleabcd, on 08/22/2008, -1/+2lol, sour grapes and whole bunch of losers
- Pooleep, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1Is that... Oh my god it is.
A soccer field with wings. Win. - neillloyd, on 04/17/2009, -0/+1Some wierd pics - there are some twisted poeple out there with a lot of time on their hands.
http://howto-talktowomen.com - RikkiTikki, on 08/23/2008, -0/+1It's not racist because it's not saying anything about how being Chinese means you bind your feet. It's just making a wrong cultural association.
- BirdCatcher, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1you smell funny
- purpleerckleman, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0i'm very disappointed with the Olympics
very rigged looking to me nothing can be played far - roxgod666, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0i like how heavily the Olympics are advertising Lenovo. Every time they show the NBC host you can see that huge Lenovo laptop right next to her with the camera angle centered right on it
- cacique83, on 08/22/2008, -1/+1Thanks for sharing. I like how creative they are.
- Zaggynl, on 08/22/2008, -1/+1impossible is nothing!
- mapls, on 03/08/2009, -0/+0Cool pics.

To me this looks like one of the anti-Beijing olympics ads. - Archer007, on 08/22/2008, -1/+1No, that's because nobody likes you. Go figure.
- BirdCatcher, on 08/22/2008, -3/+3and I'm getting buried for calling that poster racist. Go figure.
- iplen, on 08/22/2008, -4/+3Wow what racist *****.
- hillaryj, on 08/22/2008, -2/+1And they have barbed wire and handcuffs the same day eight bloggers were arrested in Beijing and a reported 17 more protesters killed.
Unacceptable. - pvnrt, on 08/22/2008, -1/+0***** you.
- lovemorgul, on 08/21/2008, -3/+2If you wouldn't do it on TV . . . ? Watch TV without a DVR and see if you don't want to shoot the thing when you see the same commercial five times within an hour. Apparently media time is far too cheap.
