Posted: On a tank in Tiananmen SquareBEIJING -- In anticipation of the arrival of high-level foreign officials and guests from non-communist countries, China is rolling out the welcome mat. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has ordered workers to install high-powered luxury showers for all guests that the Chinese state deems "special."
This announcement comes on the heels of the redesigned Olympic torch, as reported by the Free-Ass. Press on April 16, 2008. Also available during the Olympics will be the Chinese minimalist shower where the VIP is secured to a massage table and water droplets are then dropped one by one on the person's forehead for hours on end.
Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee, said he looks forward to experiencing this "exciting Oriental tradition."
