The Olympics: Killing People With Sports
-or-
Let Us Not Forget that Olympians Are Simply Glorified Dumb Jocks
I think it’s horseshit that news commentators are urging us not to politicize the Olympics, when the whole affair is already politicized from the beginning. When the Olympics committee decides to hold the Olympics someplace, it provides an economical boon to the local businesses. Tourism is bumped up and governments have the attention of the world where they can go ahead and pull off all sorts of propaganda shenanigans…
Jesse Owens publicly claimed Hitler wasn’t such a bad guy when the Olympics were held in Germany of all places. Yeah let’s not politicize the Olympics by having our athletes compete in Nazi Germany, way to go Olympics Committee, you just provided Nazi Germany with a 1 Million Mark profit which was probably shuttled right into the death camps.
I don’t like American Football, but I understand the power of their franchise, and if they wanted to hold the next Superbowl in Iran or go back in time and hold it in Mussolini’s Italy, I wouldn’t begrudge a few clever people protesting that fact.
And let’s be honest here, what exactly ARE the Olympics if not a showcase for dumb juiced up jocks? They were the same people who bullied you for being too smart when you went to high school, and now we’re expected to let them run around like maniacs pumping profits into whatever Banana Republic and Communist Empire wins the bid just so they can have a fun widdle compwetwitwion?
In short, fuck the Olympics.
i can think of better things to fuck.
and no, not vegetables.
Like me?
I was thinking the po’lice, like fuck the police. Not Sting’s police.
Typical Keywork.
Police is so vulnerable. Don’t shot at it. It’s too easy. It’s not worth the effort.
And Sting’s Police are even worse.
E.
I need a translator, pls.
I think it is a shame that the athletes themselves are caught up in this.
I think it’s a shame that Mussolini is dead.
Anybody read Inferno by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle?
It’s Dante, updated…with Mussolini as hell’s tourguide.
I’m listening.
Did anyone ever sea Tea with Mussolini, starring Cher?
No one did.
I didn’t have a chance to answer, but, no.
I did! It wasn’t horrible!
Next you’re going to tell us that you enjoy Arby’s.
Fuck the Olympics, make love to a Tibetan monk. THEN LIGHT HIM ON FIRE!
Just make sure you don’t pay for it. That’s what free Tibet is all about. Not paying for sex.
I enjoy Arby’s the same as I enjoy free sex with frosty slanteyes.
With melted cheddar.
I’m the same way with garbage.
You and your thesaurus!
Yeah. That’s how daddy rolls.
Where micky be at?
He’s having technical difficulties today.
Need help untumbing his ass, again?
I’ll get the plunger, you get the margarine.
Check. ‘Untumbing’?
I love how they actually extinguished the Olympic torch in France a couple of days ago. Had that ever happenned before?
Yes, the whole thing sucks, and will most likely intensify as the Olympic get closer.
I loved the Golden Gate Bridge protest thing when they unleashed the giant banner…really cool to watch and then see those words…..
Of course somewhere in America someone was probably saying, “Free Tibet? Is there a new dog food out for free?” I could just see some moron going into a store saying, “I saw on the news Tibet is free, do you have any left?”
unthumbing

Let’s face it, the Olympics represent little of the nobility for which they were originally intended. Professional athletes competing, foreign athletes competing for other countries, ubiquitous corporate sponsorships and tie-ins, etc… have reduced the Olympics to just another over-hyped sporting event like the Super Bowl–er, I mean, Big Game.
Damn right Soylent Ape! If they weren’t completely corrupt, I might have some truck with the argument not to politicize the Olympics. But if you give the Games to China — and don’t think money didn’t have a lot to do with that decision — then you’re asking for it.
BTW, Tibetan monk is very stringy.
m.
Those camps were being built during those olympics.
I think the olympics are great.
Its all the shit that comes with it that can get fucked
um, I saw tea with mussolini.
don’t forget, i am the paragon of jewiness, if its jewish, i’m watching it.
and yes, i cried.

Oh and as a final addendum, I throw this at you.

Hitler invented the Olympic torch relay!
I rest my case.
“Did anyone ever sea Tea with Mussolini, starring Cher?”
No offense. But I’ve never seen any movie, starring Cher.
“Of course somewhere in America someone was probably saying, “Free Tibet? Is there a new dog food out for free?” I could just see some moron going into a store saying, “I saw on the news Tibet is free, do you have any left?””
There’s nothing wrong with being a sample whore.
“Hitler invented the Olympic torch relay!”
Hitler invented the internet, too.
You didn’t see Mask?
Dude! It’s the most unintentionally funny film of all time!
Depends on what you’re sampling, Stil.
boob bacon?
I thought there was something up with Cher’s face. I clearly had no idea she was wearing a mask!
I’d sample that but only if it’s turkey. Much prefer to die of a heart attack from sausage intake.
