| Thread: The Olympics - Peoples opinions? |
I lost interest in the Olympics after they started allowing professionals into the games and also all of the goofy "sports" being allowed in. What is next, hacky sack and competitive eating? It has just become a huge tool for advertising and marketing companies. The political b.s. that happens every time is also a big turn off. |
Ehhh, I'm still trying to come to terms with having watched chicks race walking, and the ensuing awkward horniness. I say awkward because I was watching it on a tv monitor at the hospital... |
