Even though it took a little pressure from Mia Farrow, it appears that Steven Spielberg has decided to sever his ties with the Chinese organizers of the 2008 Olympics, with whom he was previously signed up to serve as an artistic advisor for the games. Oddly enough, the pressure he was recieving wasn't based on the 1.5 million Chinese displaced to make room for Olympic structures; it was actually based on the fact that China buys the majority of the Sudan's oil, partially in exchange for supplying the Sudanese government with weapons to continue their genocide. Oddly enough, most of the "Save Darfur" shirts probably also come from China.
Tip of the hat to the ever-vigilant vigilantes of Creative Minority Report.
