I've been wondering...what will China do with those brand-new stadiums (okay, stadia, for you Latin fans) once the Olympics are over?
Even now, they can't get people to fill the seats for the world's biggest sporting events--what's going to happen once the torch is snuffed?
Here are some ideas:
+ Holding areas for dissidents (may not be large enough).
+ Communist Party Athletic Events (the swimming "cube" can be used for auto da fe re-education trials).
+ Convert them into giant clothing sweatshops. One 8-year-old girl and sewing machine per seat.
+ Use the "Bird's Nest" to attract a really big bird to nest there.
In the interest of international goodwill, I'll try to think of some more. Stay tuned.
