There's an Olympic games on. Does anyone actually care?

I watched about 5 minutes of something called "women's half pipe" snowboarding.



The contestants snowboard down a semi circular track, whilst moving up each side to do flips and mid air turns. They get a score.



I've never seen a more absurd "sport". No-one outside the sport would have a clue how the score is applied. If you watch a race, the winner is the first past the finish line. But these "sports" that are judged are a load of bollocks, and not worth watching.

There has been some complaints about the dustiness of the rooms in the olympic village..



Its a good thing the norwegians packed so many asthma inhalers with them.

[Odinson]

The "olympians" are laying the ground work for an explanation for their failure to get gold medals..



Dusty rooms, AC not working, runny nose etc.



Sore losers...





They are not real sportsmen..

Hosting an Olympiad in an East Asian country during lunar new year is dumb, dumb, dumb. It's hard enough getting to your home town at this time of year without adding hordes of foreign tourists competing for train tickets and space on congested highways.

The Olympics haven't been the same since they eliminated mandatory forced placing in the red countries, it's like they took away all the spirit
