Beijing Olympic’s website steals flash games

I'm a big Olympics fan. For someone who's no sports fan it's really outside the realm of what I'd normally like, but something about the international goodwill and wacky sports sucks me in every two years. So with all the dirty laundry coming to light concerning the games in China later this year, it's tough to let myself get into it as much.

Take their website for example, and it's ripping off of popular flash games. It seems like someone just grabbed the flash files, made a cosmetic change or two… and called it something new. The most egregious example seems to be Leap and Leap, a direct rip off of the fantastically calm and cute Winter Bells. C'mon guys, if you're gonna steal can you at least TRY and hide it? I mean they even left the snow in!!
