Olympics Travel: Introducing the Official (Creepy) Cheer

Where: Beijing, China
June 12, 2008 at 10:02 AM | by pbb | 2 Comments

A newly announced official cheer should make the case that the Beijiing Olympics will be the creepiest games ever. Officials are teaching 800,000 students the four-part chant and will put together cheering squads to show up at event venues.

Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Clap two times (while chanting 奥运, "Olympics")

Step 2: Hands in fists with thumbs up, arms extended upward (while chanting, 加油, "Let's go!")

Step 3: Clap two time (while chanting 中国, "China")

Step 4: Hands in fists, arms extended outward and upward (while chanting 加油, "Let's go!")

We're already pumped! A video demonstration is right after the click.

    I dunno

    I think the Soulja Boy dance should have been the official cheer, but that's just me.

    OMG ...

    ... I guess an official cheer just had to be done. I'm quite relieved by the video, it could've been much worse. I once taught a bunch of Chinese teenagers who had all these clapping games that ended up with the losers being violently slapped, so this cheer is suitably tame.
