Sacred Flame Protection Unit...
Posted by Adam Blickstein

It's true that these guys, the official Chinese Olympic torch protection unit, scorch the earth wherever they and the Olympic flame go. It's true they are acting like thugs towards protesters and spectators alike, and appear to actually be comprised of "paramilitary police from a force spun off from the Chinese army." But it's also true that the rather distinctive moniker given to this brutish group would also be a rockin' name for an 80's revival hair band..

Just a random thought for Friday after a busy busy week
