British journalist John Ray was arrested by Chinese police for apparently just doing his job. He showed up to cover a protest about the situation in Tibet, which is, of course, the Human Rights Violation That Shall Not Be Named. You know the police were trying to cover up and pretend that nothing was going on, so concerned as the Chinese are over appearances. They should've brought that little girl from the opening ceremonies in to distract everyone.
Ray was eventually released once the police chilled long enough to realize he was, in fact, a journalist. Hmmm, you'd think the fact that he had a press pass and a cameraman--who filmed the entire episode!--would've given the police some sort of clue.
Oh, the irony. Once again, the Chinese try to suppress the reality of Tibet only to have it blow up in their faces --faces with a perpetually fake smile.
