With the Olympics coming closer and closer Olympic Madness is getting higher and higher. In China they just introduced the Olympic Bible.
Athletes, officials, spectators and tourists can pick up the Bible or just the New Testament for free during the Olympic Games next month.
Tens of thousands of copies of the Bible, the New Testament and booklets with just the four Gospels (according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) have been printed for the purpose, say officials of China’s Christian society.
News of the printing of the Scriptures should put pay to rumors started by overseas agencies saying the Chinese authorities would not make the Bible available at the Games.
Furthermore the Chinese authorities set 6 million 10 Yuan biljets in the market to increase enthousiasm by the Chines, specially in Beijing. The Olympic Beijing logo is put everywhere. From the mountains to the great chinese wall. Even in HongKong a special Olympic 20 dollar biljet has been introduced last friday.
Of course there are the souvenirs. Lots of them. With logo or one of the many mascottes. And one of the wierdest souvenirs is a key chain with a living goldfish.
