Ad Watch: Pong.

When I wrote yesterday that any kid old enough to pick up a ping pong paddle is probably better than you already, I was serious. They love their ping pong here in Beijing. All around the city, there are ping pong gyms, with dozens of tables in use at all hours.

Or, to put it another way: China Unicom is using two groups of athletes for their ads during these Games. They've got Yao Ming, and they've got the Chinese ping pong team. Guess which one they feature more of in their ads?
