- Description
"Jitterati" cartoon strip. In the first three of four frames four Chinese men are stuck through with a great spear to illustrate the 'greatest penetration by a western company', three reporters duck below the huge word 'Tibet' to demonstrate the most skilful avoidance of the elephant in the room, and a young woman stands on top of a prison showing a pair of hands clutching at the bars and searches around in vane for dissidents. Jaimee wonders if she is too cynical and Debbie decides she won't invite her to her birthday any more. Refers to negative aspects of the Beijing Olympic Games; western influences, Chinese relations with Tibet and imprisoning dissidents.
