Psst

I have a confession to make. You have to promise not to tell anyone, as it's a pretty shameful secret these days.

The Olympics. I. Don't. CARE!!! I do not care about the Olympics. I do not CARE how many bazillion medals someone has won. Good on him, and I'm sure he's pleased, but it is NOT worthy of the entire newspaper being devoted to it! (And let's not even start on the contingent of women who apparently find Dumbo ears to be a turnon...) OK, that was kind of mean. But I'm sick of it! I am sick of every third thread on forums (across multiple platforms!) being about the stinking Olympics. I am sick of people asking me if I've been watching them, and when I say "No" and attempt to change the subject (I do at least do people the courtesy of not shrieking "I'd rather poke hot pokers into my eyeballs!") they prattle on and on about whatever last night's circus act was. Here's a hint (and yes, Mother, I mean you!): IF I CARED, I WOULD HAVE WATCHED IT!!!

Moreover, I can't believe how many people are basically ignoring the underhanded tactics that the Chinese regime has been up to in order to get everything perfect for the Olympics. We should not be there at all, IMO. We've screwed up the world badly enough without playing along with a Stepford Country game masterminded by a bunch of Communist-in-the-bad-old-sense thugs. But oh, no, never mind the exiling people, never mind who all they've made disappear behind the scenes, never mind how many people's livelihoods they've taken out in an attempt to make everything postcard-perfect, we's gotta have teh SPORTZ!!! Because, dontcha know, Teh Sportz is WAYYY more important than murdering dissidents. It's also handy for distracting people from the fact that the US economy is headed down the shitter!

But I'm not bitter! Oh wait, yes I am. :P
