gotta give jen some credit, she's shown some impressive restraint, it's been a long time since we've seen a panda post (no sarcasm). moderation is good. damn cute bear btw.

Man, when I went they wouldn't let anyone take photos of the babies. Rip off. Personally I'm a fan of the Chinese names: Qiuqiu, Dandan, Poopoo, Pipi, Lingling, Jingjing, etc.

I agree Hoodrat! However, we really should ignore the ChiCom propaganda. We should not support this repressive regime who also cares nothing for the environment.

This is easy, people. Name them after Chinese dissidents like Gao Zhisheng, Bu Dongwei, Chen Guangcheng, etc. I suggest we en masse submit the name "Gao Zhisheng". See here for info: web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGASA170662006?open&of=ENG-CHN There are plenty of examples on the amnesty webiste of other imprisoned dissidents or the heroes of Tianeman. Or, if you don't feel like doing research, name them: "Free Tibet" "Free Taiwan" "Democracy Now" "Remember Tianemen" "Boxer Rebellion" "Free Butterstick" You get the idea. Don't play their PR game.
