The show kind of touched on it today but how many like me are less interested in the athletics and more interested on the political aspects that may happen daily there? I cant wait to hear the stories come out as far as censoring both the athletes and the spectators. For instance I LOVE the one bible allowed rule. Just wait until the first Gold Metal winner spouts out about Tibet.

I was a gymnast until college so I am definitely looking forward to that part. Luckily I'll be on a business trip all alone that week so I'll have nothing to do but sit around and watch the Olympics.

I like the Olympics too, but I'm more of a Winter Olympics person. Especially the Ice Hockey tournament.

When I think of how China handles criticism the Benny Hill theme music plays in my head. They get more negative attention from censoring negative press than from the actual criticism itself.

Why in the Hell would China censor the Benny Hill music?! That alone has to be grounds for war. Yakety Sax rules and I had no idea that China was so much against it. Thanks for pointing my mirth in the right direction, scooter. |

My wife loves the Olympics but is especially interested this year because she is originally from China. By default then I am interested in the Olympics so I may join in on the conversations occasionally.

Ok...It's a cold hard world we live in pothole, If a few people died and the Chinese showed the Middle East what Hell really looks like, it's a win/win in my book. But it's never gonna happen 'cause that would be too easy. It's much more fun to throw tax dollars at a problem that has no solution. |

Aside from your view on baseball movies, I thought you were pretty cool and had your stuff together. Not anymore. I agree, spending tax money to make a problem go away isn't always the best solution, but to wish a terrorist attack on somebody, let alone an event like the Olympics? That is deeply disturbing on so many levels. |

Disturbed? Hell everybody ought to be disturbed. I was being flip, sorry it didn't transcribe. I just have a bad feeling about the games. |

If anyone missed it then I hope they put it up on YouTube. It was spectacular. Beijing got that part right. Pairing the 8 year old who survived the earthquake and went back to help his friends with Yao Ming was awesome too. |
