You guys…Chinese people? Am I right?

I just read an article on bbc.com that says a bunch of them are naming their babies “The Olympic Games” in honor of the upcoming festivities in Beijing.

I watched The Olympic Games on Maury. Fat baby episode, obviously.

More than 4,000 children in China have been given the name Aoyun, meaning Olympic Games, in the past 15 years…Officials in charge of identity cards say that more than 92% of the 4,104 registered Aoyuns are boys.

A family in China is only allowed to have one Olympic Games. That’s why they’re going to win the gold in infanticide (and getting a seat on the subway (and now I’m just being racist)).

I wish Americans named their babies after events. My name would be so much cooler. Something like Hitler Diaries Mande. Or Bjorn Borg Retires From Professional Tennis Mande. Or Ghandi Wins Oscar For Best Picture Mande. Or Anything Else That Happened in 1983 Mande.
