I hope everything that possibly can go wrong with these Olympics does go wrong (apart from any more deaths, obviously).
Was that KD Lang or Rob Schneider?
How come this is in the sty?
Oh snap!
Boycotting the olympics or wishing nastiness upon the events because of seal slaughter is repulsive. These athletes have been working their asses off for years, they didn't pick the venue. Grow up.
Many of the events involve intensive training for one very specific skill. Years of a person's life taken up in the pursuit of personal glory in an event most people only remember exists when it's shown on TV.
What about requiring all participants to compete in a minimum of three disciplines, to show they are all-round athletes. And requiring all athletes to use the same standard equipment, to iron out equipment based advantage. ??
Does anyone else remember the mystique surrounding the Olympics and the athletes during the Cold War?

I know. That was amazing. I was at the ice rink when we won (I was a figure skater) and it turned into a big celebration!
