Fuwa Animated Baozi Emoticons
I had found these Beijing olympic mascot emoticons a looong time ago and can't remember from where! I had uploaded them to a forum which has been ridiculously blocked by my ISP for almost a year! So I re-uploaded them to share with smiley and emoticon loving people like me ^.^
These are the only ones I have so if you have more of them please share them with me kindly. Thanks a lot in advance ^_^

What these Olympic Mascots Stand For?
Fantastically enough, these mascots are named in way that will form a welcoming message as follows:
BeiBei - JingJing - HuanHuan - YingYing - NiNi
--->
Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni
北京欢迎你
--->
Beijing Welcomes You
--->
Welcome to Beijing!

Clerics say Female Flag-bearer at Olympics "Constitutes an Obstacle for the Appearance of Imam Mahdi and disgraces Islam"
Tehran, 8 August (AKI) - Iranian religious figures have criticised that Olympic female rower Homa Hosseini was chosen as the flag bearer of Iran, calling the move a 'heresy'.
"To make a woman march with the flag of the Islamic Republic in Beijing, is pure heresy and shows total disobedience of the laws mandated by our spiritual guides," said Seyyed Ahmad Elmalhoda, leader of Friday prayers in Iran's holy city of Mashhad.
Hosseini, 19, grew up in Iran's Kermanshah province in western Iran, she is one of three Iranian female competitors at the Olympic Games and Iran's first ever female rower. The other two female competitors are Najmeh Abtin (archery) and Sara Khoshjamal (Tae Kwon Do).
"To make this woman march means to openly declare war to our religious values. Whoever is responsible for this unforgivable act, he should know that this gesture constitutes an obstacle for the 'appearance' of Mahdi," said Elmalhoda.
He was referring to the mainly Shi'a Islam belief that Imam Mohammed al-Mahdi (aka Imam Zaman) will appear to fight a final apocalyptic battle over the forces of evil.
Followers believe he was born in the year 868 and has been in hiding ever since awaiting a decision from god to reappear.

started the Beijing Summer Olympics. The opening ceremony was magnificent and beautiful (I watched it on a satellite channel as it was heavily censored on our Islamic TV >:-(
