#5 Beijing has threatened harsh punishment for any who use the Olympic logos without authorization, although fake Olympic products from T-shirts to pens and baseball caps can be bought in central Beijing for a fraction of the price of real ones.

It's not like the Chinese have ever conterfeited anything ever before.....

Hot contender for Snark O' the Day.
