The modern convention of moving the Olympic Flame via a relay system from Olympia to the Olympic venue began with the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany.

The relay, captured in Leni Riefenstahl's film, "Olympia", was part of the Nazi propaganda machine?s attempt to add myth and mystique to Adolf Hitler?s regime. Hitler saw the link with the ancient Games as the perfect way to illustrate his belief that classical Greece was an Aryan forerunner of the modern German Reich

Hitler was the torch, they should have lit up for the games!

I read about that - interesting and something I did not know before a few days ago.

Oh well, the Germans (yeah MaDalton) had some "good ideas" back in the day... sort of... LOL

And some environmentalists are upset about the torch because of CO2 emissions.

Olympic Torch Emits 5,500 Tons of CO2

According to the article, officials of the following 2012 London games are considering a "carbon neutral" method of some sort of transporting the torch instead of using dedicated jet liners / buses, etc - perhaps they'll switchover to a virtual on-line torch instead that people interact with over the net.

Everyone go burn your VW, it's a Nazi symbol! Who cares, generally speaking it's an interesting and positive thing. Kind of funny how a bunch of leftist commie's are protesting 'communist' china though haha

I think it's just all crazy, they should never have allowed China to have the games, it will give them more money to beat the shit out of people.
