That was the most amazing display of talent and innovation I have ever seen. I mean...
opening ceremony was alright, i liked how the guy 'flew 'around the stadium. But nothing that blew my mind

Haha yeah, even I know that the London Olympics cannot top that impressive show of unison and coordination that they had in Beijing. It was incredible. Not to mention fucking expensive; the Communist system really got that right when the government told its people to "STFU!" when deciding what to spend money on, here in socialist Britain people would whine forever about how $1000 billion of their hard-paid tax money went into an Olympic firework show.

Well, there was absolutely nothing on TV until an hour ago so I was watching rowing, road cycling, volleyball and the China-Canada women's soccer. It's a mildly entertaining sporting event.
This was pretty cool. You have to put the correct zipcode and service provider in to watch. Otherwise it sends you to some generic olympics video.
It should be a man running around the top of the stadium.

I would think the stance would hurt her lady bits, unless that particular seat is contoured for naked female riding.Poseidon wrote:

I watched some of the swimming before like I said I would - holy shit, that austrailian chick that won gold is HOT.
Someone said no one watches the winter olympics, I find the summer games boring. Snowboarding FTW!
