You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it.

Amazing Olympics recap photos [slightly NSFW, due to an accidental bare ass or exposed boob] Also: quite a lot of opportunistic ass and crotch shots. Via John Kennedy at Global Voices Online.

Don't look behind that wall , Mr. Olympic inspector. In advance of the ongoing assesment by 17 Olympic inspectors, thousands of unwanted people have been tossed into a detention center in China, without trial. For a month, 500 to 600 people a day have been tossed in. Human Rights in China interviewed former inmates of the detention centre, and they reported

"There were no bathing facilities, food was poured from buckets and fought over by mice, and beatings with leather belts were common."

Is this what China does to "put on its game face"?
