The Olympics Disappoint!

NBC is concerned that they are not getting the viewer-ship they expected. Sorry, I cannot sympathize with them in the least!

Am I the only one who is tired of figure skating. We see every little moment of this venue (if we choose to watch). It all blurs together in one vision of flashing crotches and fairy dressing men(?).

Then there is the culture of ME, ME, ME!!! From Shani Davis refusing to join the long-track pursuit team to the absolutely ridiculous and selfish Lindsay Jacobellis who had to Hot_Dog it at the end of her snowboarding medal run. I only wish two more of the competitors would have passed her in the end!

Then there are the"Team Sports". What a joke this is. Ever since they allowed the Pros to be in the Olympics, the "I don't give a sh...." quotient has skyrocketed. Do you think the Russian people hit the streets in celebration yesterday when their team beat the Americans? Hell no! Do you think Shack will be in the Summer Olympics in 2008; I don't think so. And who would care?

They ought to go back to the good old days when the Olympics was about the amateur. Perhaps NBC should look at the venues that sell out...like Curling where insurance salesmen are more the norm than high profile pros and spoiled boarders with their pants half way down their asses!

There is only one thing worse than the Olympics and that is the competition....American Idol! Now there is a real comment on our culture. I think I will turn off the tube and read a book!
