    I'd like to thank those of you who made this the longest thread I've ever started. I couldn't have done it without you.

    I'll be starting the "Official London 2012 Olympics" thread soon.

    :cool:

    now they are using real ethnic people. :D i wonder what my people looks like. maybe it's still a fake cause you can't really tell the difference except the clothing.

    This is the only Olympics I have watched with great interest pretty much everyday. I will miss making fun of underaged Chinese girls and lusting over Nastia and Alicia. It's been a good one.

    i like how he used those dress on the women. very traditional. a common style in southern ethnic groups, as well as ancient Han. very cool. :) the sound means women are coming.
