The Olympic Flame

PARIS - Security officials snuffed out the Olympic torch and carried it through Paris in the safety of a bus at least five times Monday as chaotic protests against China's human rights record turned the relay into a chaotic series of stops and starts.

Snuffed it out five times? What a joke.

They might just as well light up the Olympic flame in China with a made-in-China cigarette lighter and forget all this running around the world with the now fake Olympic flame.
