The same is with us, the problem is that it doesn't have anything good.So nobody watches it!
Also We are starting to drift again out of context...

That's why I posted that American Olympic Announcer vid. :-)

Ha that's a really good description, you can see Just Call Me Dave looking around at the last second, desperately getting an update on how bad his dancing is compared to everyone else. The guy is so self conscious he'll always seem like a creep. I'm also amused by the guy on the right who has to abort his similarly tepid attempt at 'letting the dance out' to pick his nose.
Anyway, now that's over - who's looking forward to the midget 100m dash?

So, Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics next February. Thoughts? There's been a bit of controversy - those Greenpeace hijackers being imprisoned (don't really give a toss, but some people seem to) along with Russia's discriminatory stance on LGBT people - but that's Russia being Russia, I guess. The LGBT thing bugs me though: A part of me did consider a boycott of anything sponsoring the Sochi games. However, two days later I found myself sitting in a McDonalds, drinking Coca Cola.
Bugger.

There's always some sort of controversy with the recent Olympics that are much more highlighted thanks to social media. To be honest though I haven't been up to date with Sochi's.

The only thing about the next Winter Games that I know of is that NBC is airing them again...shudder...

They may have learned from their mistakes.
Although it's doubtful.

Let's just hope NBC did learn. If not...there's always the internet.

Imagine someone livetweeting it minute-by-minute...
Winter Olympics have a certain appeal to me, probably more than the Summer Games. Love watching some of the events on ice and such. Don't usually get the time, due to work, but who knows...
