How Did The Beijing Olympic Games Get Their Logo?

There's hardly a day that goes by, as you know, that I don't complain about the Olympics. Because I resigned myself to boycotting the event for the lack of morals surrounding this Summer's Games in Beijing, I'm stuck with only the occasional clip - such as that of Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai popping out his elbow (I do not suggest clicking on that link) - on YouTube or Google Video, and I miss everything else.

I don't get to see the swimming competitions, nor the Volleyball, nor the Gymnastics, all of which I normally love to watch.

It's a small price to pay, however, to stand up for those in China, Darfur, and Tibet whose rights are being violated on a daily basis. They might not have a voice, but one less TV rating for every person that has pledged to boycott - and there are many - is certainly a message worth sending.
