eeerrgh. bastards. it's disgusting watching american businesses kiss the chinese government's ass because it so desperately wants access to China's billion consumers. Anything, any travesty, any lies, any crimes against humanity can be forgiven so long as we can turn a buck.
The Chinese have always been our own worst enemy throughout history. Depressing how little changes. Bleah.
Note: That link originally went to an article complaining about billboards set up in Tibet reading "Pabst Blue Ribbon celebrates the "50th Anniversary of the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet" (those outside of the Chinese Communist Dictatorship Government tend to characterize the event to be more along the lines of Mao's army violently conquering Tibet against the wishes of it's people). The link now notes that Pabst removed the billboards due to negative publicity.
