Title: Is it just me or do the Olympic uniform pictures look like they were modeled after old style Nazi or Communist Russia pictures?

Here is the yahoo link to the pictures.

To me the pictures I've seen look like they came straight from Nazi Germany, North Korea, or Communist Russia. They also remind me of those old communist propaganda cartoon drawings that people post every now and then to make a point.

A show of the times I guess. Seig Heil!

I dunno Hayek. They look more like old-style prep school than Chairman Mao or Hitlerjugend. They cost almost two grand a set including the lame beret.

Notice the clever set up. The same bunch that have sold our gigs to China have found an incendiary issue to stoke up a little populist enmity against the same. I look to see more of these kinds of psychological ploys.

"I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said when asked by ABC News today, "If they have to wear nothing but a symbol that says USA on it, painted by hand, that is what they should wear."

[snip]

Reid said today that the U.S. Olympic committee should be "ashamed of themselves," and "embarrassed," that the items were made in China, especially with people in the textile industry in America who are looking for jobs.

The Congressional reaction on Capitol Hill today extended to both houses and both parties.

"You'd think they know better," Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH., said in response to a question from ABC News today.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that since the Olympic athletes represent the very best in America they should be wearing uniforms made in America.

"They work so hard. They represent the very best, and they're so excellent. It's all so beautiful. And they should be wearing uniforms that are made in America."

Already there is a movement on Capitol Hill to make changes so this does not happen again at future Olympic Games. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., wrote a letter Thursday morning to the chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Lawrence Probst, calling this revelation "shocking and deeply disappointing" and asking all U.S. team's uniforms be made in America in the future.

Lawmakers Propose Changes, and Bonfires, After ABC Report on Chinese-Made U.S. Olympic Uniforms

By Chris Ariens on July 12, 2012

And just because they’re made in China doesn’t mean they’re cheap. The Ralph Lauren uniforms run $1,945 for men, and $1,473 for women, including the $55 beret.
