As a child I remember watching the Olympics with my parents every night while eating popcorn and drinking pop. Those memories were some of the best of my life and I will never forget them. It is sad that this generation can not say the same.
When participating in a class discussion in my journalism class, I learned that the Olympics are going through a trying time but I never knew that it was this bad. The summer’s Olympics in Beijing has turned into a nightmare.
The issue is that is causing all the controversy all around the world started On a morning in mid-February, the four staff members of Dream for Darfur sat in silence in what they call their war room, contemplating posters of Beibei the Fish and her four fellow Olympic mascots taped to the walls. Because of the situation it is being said that “the entire world calling its cherished games the ‘Genocide Olympics.”
Even with the “Olympic genocide” it is said that “once the Summer Games begin in Beijing on Aug. 8, Chinese Olympic officials plan to sell millions of the mirthful mascots; the Chinese government has planted them everywhere in the country, hanging like religious icons.”
I feel that there is much more to this than a couple of mascot because those on the board with Dream for Darfar, connecting the dots between the Summer Games and hundreds of thousands of African corpses is not much more complicated than that.” Maybe something will be revealed in the future, at least we hope so.
