I don’t think I’m going to shock anyone when I say that maybe the olympics are facing a certain amount of apathy in the American viewing public this year. I haven’t really heard a lot of interest from my peer group in keeping up with what’s going on, and to be honest, the only reason I know what’s going on in Beijing is because I’m on vacation by a lake when there are constant electrical storms which are preventing me from being outside.

So I’m wondering a couple of things. Should NBC, the network which has the contract for the Olympics this year, should have put a little more thought into the website this year? If you’ll forgive the metaphor, looking at this website would be like kicking my eyes in the balls, If my eyes had balls.

The other thing I’m wondering is, given the bar to entry that is our general lack of interest, maybe they shouldn’t have gone with requiring MS Silverlight to view video on the damn thing. I can tell you that, without question, that has prevented me from consuming any of the data on their site

The Olympics are Over

shutupinternet: pile: davidcho: ESPN: Matos banned for life after kicking referee following match I don’t like the Olympics, but I do enjoy these weird international scandals. Plus, this picture was taken by Korean. CAN ANYBODY STOP THESE PEOPLE!? Best part of this article: “We didn’t expect anything like what you have witnessed to occur,” said WTF secretary general Yang Jin-suk. “I am at a loss for words.” WTF?! I’M SO SURPRISED! I can’t wait for the YouTube videos of this kick, the remixes, and the one video perfectly synced to “Never Gonna Give You Up.”

Michael Phelps

Yes, that would be pretty sick.

People should swim nude in the Olympics. Wouldn’t that be a much better way to see who is truly the fatest swimmer on our little planet? I want to know who swims the fatest with what their god gave them rather than what expensive suit is wrapped around their hot bodies.

What the hell… I didn’t realize the X Games were part of the Olympics. What is this extreme biking I see on my television?

Douche.

  • Mom: What's a douche?
  • Me: What?!
  • Mom: You had a post on your blog that said Michael Phelps is a douche.
  • Me: Uhh, a douche is kinda like an annoying guy.
  • Mom: Oh, I figured it had to have another meaning.
  • Me: Yeah...
  • Mom: Because, you know, douches are a feminine hygiene product.
  • (Ok, this totally happened to me last week. My mom was horrifyed when I used the word 'douchebag'. This from the woman who has picked up some classy phrases from my 21 year-old brother, such as 'fuck that shit'. She actually asked if I knew what 'douchebag' actually meant. I'm 25 Mom.)
