Don't streak, get drunk or sleep outside

BEIJING (Reuters) - Do not sleep outdoors to save money at the Olympics. It is banned to "maintain public hygiene and the cultured image of cities."

Do not let the stifling summer heat tempt you into streaking, do not get drunk nor set off fireworks nor wave "insulting banners."

Anyone with mental illnesses or sexually transmitted diseases is banned. Smoking is not allowed at Olympic venues.

The rules on the organizers' official website say it all:

"Foreigners must respect Chinese laws while in China and must not harm China's national security or damage social order."

1. Seems like breathing will also be a challenge during the Olympics.....

.... if the haze over Beijing they showed on the news the other night stays in place. (But then again, they managed to hold the Olympics in 1980s Los Angeles, so perhaps it won't be.)

2. There's a gold medal for anyone

who can survive ten days of breathing Beijing's air.

And just for the record, LA's air pollution--even at its worst--was no where near the level of Beijing's.

3. Well, that shoots my weekend all to hell

I suppose drunk dialing is also verboten now too.
