This is going to sound like sour grapes because we're getting hammered in the medal tally, but this Olympics is fucked. It's fucked and it's full of cheats.

Never mind that the men's road race was won by an admitted drug cheat. Don't worry about the handful of athletes already sent home for positive tests. Let's just, for the moment, ignore lashawn merritt's pharmaceutical enhancement of cock size. Let's pretend 100 m sprint bronze medalist from USA Justin gatlin hasn't been twice banned in the past for steroids. Well pretend the great host nations entry wasn't just recently banned for life for the same thing (yet still here he is)

I'm more concerned about the more mundane cheating. Deliberately crashing your bike to get a restart is bullshit. Whipping out a few illegal dolphin kicks to land a gold is bullshit. It's fully blatant, unrepentant bullshit.

This is bullshit. In fact it's pretty hard to watch.


She gets a consolation medal because the idiots in charge of the event can't work a stopwatch. But it's still bullshit.

Bunch of muppets.

Funny show... too close to reality. Assume you viewed this in the US.

The cheating is not all over the media. It seems to be played down compared to other Olympics. Maybe there has been less of it.

Who are those talking heads? The guy looks a little familiar? Actor? No idea who the female is.

Nef,

This guy is Hugh Bonneville and he the Lord of the mannor in Dowton Abbey (sp).

The show was Twenty Twelve which is mockumentary masterminded by the men behind The Office and People Like Us.

It's a direct rip off of the Games done by Australia.

Funny......

Very sexist Aussie.

Your double standards never cease to amaze.

Kooooky burra's are on tonight (around 11.30pm, I think, EST). Should be an entertaining game, with the contrasting styles, Aussies with their attacking flair, Germany with their defensive stoicism. Wouldn't be surprised if it came down to who converts their short corner opportunities.

Is anyone else pissed off with the way the local broadcasters always advertise the upcoming events, but never give a start time (regardless of whether there's a set time for the hit off)? C.unts want you to hang around all fucking night :read
