It must be a sad day for those supporting the boycott of anything contaminated by the evil, bestial Zionists living as they do in that racist colonial imperial outpost, that apartheid, Nazi, baby killing, well poisoning, blood sucking, illegitimate, terrorist, genocidal, war mongering Crusader entity known to some as Israel.
News flash!
If you’re a true believer in the boycott, you’ll have to stop watching the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver!
I’ve blown hot and cold over having the winter Olympics here in Vancouver/Whistler.
On one hand I like all the infrastructure improvements that come along with the games such as improvements to the “Sea to Sky” highway.
It’s a gorgoeous stretch of road connecting Vancouver to Whistler but til now it’s always been a death trap. It winds and curves around and there are way too few passing lanes. People get impatient and voila… another death.
On the other hand, it’s the Winter Olympics. Not only are winter sports boring, I think they cheat as well. I don’t mean the usual athletic drug scam du jour, I mean the fact that all winter sports need equipment. The moment you bring in equipment you bring in technology. With that introduction it becomes not a case of who is the better athlete but who has the latest technology.
One has only to look at the scandal that swimiming has become. World records are falling left, right, and centre. And they’re not falling because the athletes are getting better but because they’ve moved to these new full body polyurethane swimsuits.
So instead of getting super hot jocks looking like this:
We get dudes looking like geeks:
With these new suits swimmers aren’t swimming in the water, they are skimming its surface.
No wonder records are falling.
All this is apropos of one of the downsides of Olympic fever.
John Graff reserved a room at the hotel for four nights through Choice Hotels International, Quality Inn’s parent company, six months ago. He learned this week from Choice Cares, the company’s customer service division, that his reservation has been cancelled. He was offered the chance to rebook at the renamed Airport Inn for $500 a night, a 525-per-cent increase
The 2010 Olympic medals may have taken 2.05 kg of gold, 1,950 kg of silver and 903 kg of copper to make more than 1,000 medals; they may use nice artwork from a Canadian artist; and they may be all wavy(what the fuck is up with that anyways?) but they’re still as ugly as sin.
