It's the announcers that got me. "Ohhh that's awful"... like they've seen it all the time.
I don't chase, I replace.

Shit, that looks painful
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil

You couldn't hear him yelling anymore after the sheild guys showed up... makes me wonder if they were holding their hands over his mouth to quiet his cries.

ha ha, they have snipers on the roof ready with tranquilizers so the guy stops yelling. Hey did you hear of the other "olympic controversies"? The way the fireworks on TV were actually a computer trick. The little girl who sang was actually a lipsynch because the girl with the voice wasn't the ideal face. and the Spanish team getting heat over an add where they were all stretching their eyes to look slanted... so much sensationalized news...

I saw the picture of the little girl who was actually singing... I thought she was cuter than the girl they used as a stand-in.

Western folk don't understand the Chinese mindset. None of those things are considered wrong in that culture. Its just making the best show they can & about making everyone happy, including themselves. Its only an issue b/c they got 'caught'. If they hadn't, everyone would still be going 'wow, wasn't that fabulous?'
And actually, it WAS fabulous. But its all about taking someone down. Wolf pack mentality our media. And yet, the war in Georgia only gets a mention on pg3 in our papers.
Which is really rich considering that Canada is sucking total ass these games. I don't think we have a single medal. Not surprising given how little our gov't spends on athletes. Hopefully they will do better for 2010 Winter Games (here in Vancouver).Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
