China Sets Up Protest Pens for Olympics

Posted: On Chairman Mao's forehead

BEIJING -- With two weeks remaining until the Olympic Games, China has agreed to set up "protest pens" where protestors can rally for their respective causes.

"We want to welcome the world and encourage them to express their views in our free and open, democratic-like dictatorship," said Liu Shaowu, security director of Beijing's Olympic organizing committee.

China has made a number of changes to make the Olympics more visitor-friendly including high-powered luxury showers for VIPs and an Olympic torch that can be shared among people of all nations.

Free-Ass. Olympic coverage starts in two weeks.
