Why We Aren't Watching The Olympics

No actual competition, that's why.

There can not be anyone watching "synchronized diving" can there? It's odd enough that it exists, let alone that it has an audience, even if only every four yrs. Is "Higher, faster, stronger" being fulfilled in any way by such crap?

Should people want to see horses dancing they should try dragging someone around on their back while striking peculiar poses. (Oh. Repressed sexuality again, innit Ann Romney? This is why we like to type stuff; it's educational & informative to us as well as the audience. Some of you may be old enough to remember when every middle-class girl in the suburbs wanted a pony so, so much.) And those who enjoy watching humans in water dancing, &/or young girls who've done their best to delay puberty writhing on poles & bars like strippers should go to the fucking ballet or to a strip club. (Granted, sickening pervs won't get the thrill of watching the pre-pubescent writhing about at the gentlemen's club. Too bad, sicko.)

In general, anything that involves judging is not a sport, but an exhibition. Of crap. Some may ask "Boxing?" but it's not actual boxing unless one of the contestants finishes lying down in blood, preferably their own. Don't need a fucking judge to call winners & losers for that.

Indeed, any event that does not feature the losers literally fucking dying (And maybe a few of the winners, in team sports.) is not competition, but bullshit to fill the space between the adverts for wimp telebision viewers.

UPDATE (29 July 2012, 2130PDT): Voilà the sort of punk-ass chump who enjoys this sort of shit.

... just watched the women’s synchronized diving. My favorite was the last two young girls who won silver in diving, because it is just so nice watching someone win silver, not gold, and still be ecstatic.

The fucking sheep are so easily manipulated. "Up close & personal" our ass.
