It\'s like they never had parents to point out that just because you can (or are allowed) to do something, it doesn\'t mean you should.

The short answer is no, no they don\'t.
Love the way they tried to blame the British press for \"smearing Spain\'s good name\". In fact, that was something they managed to do all by themselves.

Spain arn\'t the only country to have spoiled it, there\'s all that trouble between Georgia and Russia at the moment too.

I shouldn\'t laugh, but lollollollollol
You\'ll never hear me say that China doesn\'t deserve much of the controversy they are seeing right now, but this is just idiotic.
I\'m not sure who I should be making fun of: the promoters who came up with this stupid idea to begin with, or the entire freakin\' team for looking at each other and deciding it sounded like a plan.
I mean really, everyone knows you should use your thumbs to slant your eyes. :moon:

From the story:
\"This story would be slowing down if the Spanish Basketball team had apologized immediately. Now it\'s just picking up steam. \"
My re-write of these two sentences:
\"This story would be slowing down if the media wouldn\'t keep making such a big deal out of it. Sure, the Spanish Basketball team could have apologized, but we\'d still be ripping into them for doing it in the first place, because the picture would still be all over the internet. But, since they didn\'t apologize, it gives us an opportunity to make them look even worse, and gives us more to write about to fill up our useless rag of a paper. This story is just picking up steam, and this reporter is glad of it, because I get paid on a per-word basis.\"

You mean to say you haven\'t heard all about Prince Phillip and his amazing ability to offend anyone and everyone?
