My guess is people have seen the news about the problems with the Olympic torch relay as it made its way through London and Paris. Every year in Budapest, they have a giant billboard competition, in which all sorts of posters are presented. (There are lots more photos of these in the private repository.) Some tend to be quite serious, some are hilarious, but I’ve always preferred the ones with biting social commentary. The above poster was on display in 2006. I think it’s more appropriate than ever.
This poster is indeed great. I too am having a lot of trouble with using Tiananmen Square to lite the torch and all the other “festivities” they will be holding there. I understand that they are trying to neutralize the square by using it for positive things, but if I was an athlete I would have to do a lot of soul searching about whether I would participate.
