Richard Gere Boycott Olympics

Richard Gere wants you to boycott the Beijing Olympics...not gerbils. Gere a devout Buddhist and the chairman of the International Campaign for Tibet, is pissed at China for their human rights crimes.

Dick told Reuters that boycotting the 2008 Olympic games could help encourage China to end their abuses in Tibet and allow the region to "decide its future."

"A general boycott to me certainly has value; it's probably impractical, but emotionally absolutely makes sense," Gere, 58, said. "Why should the world reward people who are obviously so bad to their own people, so bad to other people."

To learn more about the story of China and Tibet watch Seven Years in Tibet starring Brad Pitt. It is really educational.
