And the Gold Medal for Irony Goes to…

Police in southern China have discovered a factory manufacturing Free Tibet flags, media reports say.
The factory in Guangdong had been completing overseas orders for the flag of the Tibetan government-in-exile.
Workers said they thought they were just making colourful flags and did not realise their meaning.
That’s right, hippies. You’ve been supporting the Chinese government by buying your ‘Free Tibet’ flags from companies that pay Chinese taxes. Thus, in your own special and smelly way, financing the oppression of the people you want to protect. Smooth.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for Tibetan freedom (and shit), but this is just funny.
