The Olympics - Alexander Trafford - 02-25-2010
Let me start by saying that no one gives a shit about the winter Olympics.
While it was already predetermined that the Americans would win the overall medal count, those damn Germans are right on our tail. And today the Canadians routed the Ruskies to slip into the semifinal, joining the dominating Americans.
And elsewhere, Americans have dominated every other sport that matters, while other countries manage to snag up medals in arbitrary sports like bobsledding and curling.

Anyone else watching the Olympics?

I watch it whenever I'm in a restaurant or bar that's playing it on a TV.
EDIT: Oh! I also saw the opening ceremony.

YEAH!
Fuck you, Russia, you goddamn Red commie bastards! Shoulda got off your knees so you could stop blowing the game!

The Olympics are in Vancouver and you aren't even in the top three in total medal count. You're behind Norway for Christ's sake. Fuckin' Norway!

You do realize our Olympic program is nowhere near as spend-happy as the American one, right?
Hell, this is the first year our athletes are even getting paid in a long time, and even then, it's only a pittance, and even then, it's only if you get a medal.

Hey, if there's one thing we know how to do, it's throw away money. Everyone else should be well aware of this by now.
It's their own fault if they're not prepared for the kind of quality athletes greed can bring in.
The Olympics - Alexander Trafford - 02-25-2010
It's all about the W. And if that means spending ungodly amounts of money on the Olympics in order to elevate American pride and put on a display of athletic kick-assery at the expense of the rest of the world, then so be it.

I live in Vancouver, so I obviously watch the Olympics.
The Olympics - Rem-13 - 02-25-2010
I'm pretty much only in it for the hockey.
And as a Penguins fan, finally being allowed to hate Crosby is oddly liberating.

I couldn't agree more. Also, I don't give a shit about olympics in general, unless there's an accident, or something absurdly awesome happens.

Tied up with 1st place for gold medals! =D
The Olympics - Psyren - 02-25-2010

You also have to remember that Canada has close to only 1/8 the population size to choose our athletes from compared to the US.

That women's figure skating was sooo sad. The Canadian that got third heard that her mom died from a heart attack before her competition, it would take a lot of determination to go out and do what she did, and she got a bronze medal.
The girl that won gold was amazing, flawless.
The Olympics - Mr. Zhu - 03-01-2010
FUCK YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
GOLD MUH'FUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We also broke the record for most gold, which is 14~!!!!
The Olympics - Waffuru - 03-01-2010
Canada did great but it should be noted the most gold medals total in a Winter Games were given, 86. I think more impressive was the former record of the Soviets in '76 with 13 golds out of 37 total.
The Olympics - James - 03-01-2010
Curling is where the real shit is at.
The Olympics - Rem-13 - 03-01-2010
First Olympics I actually had any sustained interest in.
Good on ya Canada.
