Pledge “Nolympics”
"I will promise to not watch ONE second of the China Olympics but only if 50 other people will do the same."
— GRAHAM WOODS (contact)
Deadline to sign up by: 7th August 2008
55 people have signed up (5 over target)
More details
I don't really need to say why do I?
After what is happening in Tibet, AS WE SPEAK, and China's past record, we should use the Olympics as a way of showing our disgust at their nasty, oppressive standards.
