Some environmental groups have called for a boycott of the 2008 Summer Olympics after it was reported that the Chinese government placed an order, for $1 billion USD, on 800,000 cubic meters of Merbau hardwood from the endangered rainforests of Indonesia's Papua province to be used in the construction of the games. Rainforest activist groups claim that this is against Olympic ideals of respecting universal moral principles.

What? What? Have the olympics ever stood for universal moral principles? I think the '36 Munich Games may have blown the image of the olympics respecting universal moral priniciples. Now, I'm not saying I don't like the Olympics. And I'm not saying I don't like Hitler. I'm just saying that when one is being hosted by the other, it's probably a good idea to erase the phrase "universal moral principles" from the 'things that the Olympics stand for' list.
