CNN/AP: China fans mob Schwarzenegger ("bedlam")
China fans mob Schwarzenegger
Monday, November 14, 2005


BEIJING, China (AP) -- Arnold Schwarzenegger, the millionaire movie star and governor of the U.S. state of California, made a big splash at his first event in China on Monday -- perhaps too big of a splash for his security detail after dozens of photographers and fans mobbed him in the Chinese capital.

Schwarzenegger had just finished speaking at an event honoring the Special Olympics program in China when bedlam descended on him and his entourage.

He and his wife, Maria Shriver, were momentarily separated from their official security detail and Chinese police had to shove away photographers and curious onlookers who surrounded the couple.

It was a new experience for Schwarzenegger, who in recent months has been dogged by protesters in California as he promoted his special election.

Schwarzenegger arrived in Beijing on Monday to start a six-day mission to promote California products and encourage Chinese officials to crack down on the piracy of copyrighted music, movies and software....

1. Since they love him so fricking much
they can keep him. Surely there is somewhere a region he can become governor of. Like Bumfuck China.

16. now that he has found an adoring fan base
perhaps he will think of relocating to be closer to it.

If those two movies he has already signed a contract for, flop - he just move on to the Chinese movie industry. Though his body might be a bit bulky for any real martial arts heroics...

9. Not because
he just got his ass handed to him in the vote last week in california but because of the movies he made. Big damn difference between 10's of thousands turning out for Clinton in countries all over the world during his presidency and even now since he left office. The last true American president which brought America respect throughout the world.....

12. I love how they put 'millionaire movie star' BEFORE 'governor of CA'
Anyway, these people just wanted him to autograph their Terminator DVDs so they could sell them on eBay. :eyes:
