Amanda Beard Holds Naked Poster, Small Protest Outside Beijing Olympic Village
Swimming, Babes, News August 6th, 2008
Besides playing video games, Miss Amanda Beard is also an animal lover. She made a protest by holding her naked poster for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) outside the main road of the Beijing Olympic Village to voice her no-animal-skin outcry today.
The Chinese authorities did their best to limit the impact of her protest, shutting down a press conference which PETA had planned on the terrace of a hotel overlooking the ‘Water Cube’ Olympic swimming venue.
After police turned organisers away from the hotel citing ’safety concerns’, Ms Beard was forced to present her message from the side of the main road outside the Athlete’s Village.
Ms Beard, 26, said she had no intention of upsetting the Chinese authorities, but wanted to convey her anti-fur message in China which is the world’s leading fur exporter.
The message got across, sort of.

haha, sometimes the languages barriers or misunderstanding makes people afraid. And frankly speaking, feudal thinkings still have some influence on Chinese people.
Some old officials still cannot accept such strong impact. That is true in China. May be sounds regrets but that can be called tradition for Chinese people.
