I haven't been watching Olympics coverage, as it's not my thing, but I have at least been following the banner headlines, and it just seems to be one F'd-up thing after another...or (a question for those who are tuned in) is it more that the media focusing on the bad stuff?

Ha! Just the subject title of this thread cracked me up. I haven't been following the Olympics too closely either, Allen, but I do know the Chinese girls gymnastics team looks like there ain't a teen in the bunch. The American girls look like a wrestling team by comparison.

As an aside, I read that Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories PER DAY! For those of you playing at home, that's equivalent to three Chinese gymnasts each and every meal!

It just seems sort like one of those cheesy horror movies where bad things keep happening in a house because it was built on a sacred burial ground...and this one of course had clouds over it way before the opening ceremony.
