			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been up to my elbows all week polishing up <a href="http://www.lostlaowai.com">Lost Laowai</a> in both design and features, and so haven&#8217;t had much chance to update on here.</p>
<p>However, it&#8217;s officially the weekend, and I&#8217;m in the mood for some Olympic-sized funnies:</p>
<p><embed src="http://www.theonion.com/content/themes/common/assets/videoplayer/flvplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="355" flashvars="file=http://www.theonion.com/content/xml/83729/video&#038;autostart=false&#038;image=http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/BEIJING_OLYMPICS_article.jpg&#038;bufferlength=3&#038;embedded=true&#038;title=The%20Beijing%20Olympics%3A%20Are%20They%20A%20Trap%3F"></embed><br/><a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/video/the_beijing_olympics_are_they_a?utm_source=embedded_video">The Beijing Olympics: Are They A Trap?</a></p>
<p>Every time she says that &#8220;Oh, they&#8217;re going to wait until it gets dark, and they&#8217;re going to bring out their dragons&#8221; I pee a little.</p>
<p>Even more hilarious is that some cou<em>Chinese</em>gh folks on the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqNaAU2vXlI">YouTube page</a> seem to think that ONN = CNN and missed that this is satire.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been itchy all week (seriously &#8211; I think I have hives or something), and fortunately I caught this video explaining it&#8217;s just Olympic Fever.</p>
<p><embed src="http://www.theonion.com/content/themes/common/assets/videoplayer/flvplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="355" flashvars="file=http://www.theonion.com/content/xml/84390/video&#038;autostart=false&#038;image=http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/OLYMPIC_FEVER_article.jpg&#038;bufferlength=3&#038;embedded=true&#038;title=Chinese%20Officials%3A%20Deadly%20Virus%20Sweeping%20China%20Is%20Just%20Olympic%20Fever"></embed><br/><a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/video/chinese_officials_deadly_virus?utm_source=embedded_video">Chinese Officials: Deadly Virus Sweeping China Is Just Olympic Fever</a></p>
<p>And finally, check out &#8220;<a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/news/green_clad_olympic_archer_steals">Green-Clad Olympic Archer Steals Gold Medals From Rich, Gives Them To Poor</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>He&#8217;s probably a Canuck &#8211; just looking to bring <em>something</em> home to Canada.</p>
<p>Also stumbled across this funny video of the Daily Show in China (h/t <a href="http://shanghaiist.com/2008/08/14/video_the_daily_show_in_beijing_for.php">Shanghaiist</a>):</p>
