It costs nothing to protest, but that bugs the Chinese a TON. After the atrocities in Tibet recently, it's nice to see someone possibly take a stand. The US saying very little is sad.

Does this mean I have to stop eating Chinese food? I am addicted to MSG. It isn't my fault (or my fat ass).

Human rights violations? The French are having riots in the streets over there, they should leave boycotts to countries that matter, and take care of their own internal garbage.

The French are going to boycott? You mean these french? The same French that have as their threat levels: Run, Hide, Surrender and Collaborate? Seesh...

I hear what you're getting at and doing something would be nice... doing something through the olympics is next to nothing imo...
