Razer in the Olympics

[Greg King]

Not wanting to start a political rant here but I caught a press release from Razer... you know, these guys:

Anyway, shameless linkage to our past reviews aside, two members of the "e-sports" (I can't think of that without laughing), will be participating in the Beijing Olympics as torch bearers. Not particularly interested in your personal belief in how things have been handled in Tibet by China, do you think this is really something that Razer wants to associate themselves with?

I personally think it's bullshit and applaud those that choose to boycott but thats just me.

Opinions?

What if they held an Olympic Games and nobody showed up. I would like to see every country boycott the games.

With signs like this....no wonder

I'd be hard-pressed to ever see a boycott of the Olympic games, but I do think China is the last place on Earth where it should be held.

As for Razer, "any publicity is good publicity", especially in China, where I'm sure they are not that well known.

Remember Seoul Korea boycot?

Given that I was 5-years-old at the time... no. But good point.
