but that's all this Olympics has been so far really. I will give you your abridged version.

Guy dies in luge accident. video is shown in ctv, controversy ensues.
Peaceful protests begin in downtown Vancouver over just about everything imaginable.
Boring failure of an opening ceremonies begins, Native Chiefs are late so we don't start on time.
Ceremony ends with the cauldron for the Olympic flame not even working. Works 20 seconds before the torches would have gone out.
"Peaceful" protests turn into people breaking all the windows at the HBC store.

So far that's all I've got. Canada kicked ass at women's hockey last night and won a silver in women's moguls. (US won first but whatever.)

I will watch various events from the Winter Olympics,so far all I have seen is the ski jumping and Nordic combined(Which is ski jumping followed by cross country skiing).I don't follow any of the sports in between Olympics and I don't always have a clue what's going on, but I find it all strangely entertaining:confused:.
It's the same deal with the Summer games,At any other time I couldn't give a monkeys about Rowing,Cycling,Archery,Swimming etc etc but when it's the Olympics I'm compelled to watch.

The opening ceremony was awful though,but they always are,I expect the London 2012 opening will be full of prancing bowler hatted fools with umbrellas and plethora of Mary Poppins lookalikes flying around.

I think it goes without saying that if you don't like sports then you won't like the Olympics. :rolleyes: It's like saying you won't like a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon if you don't like horror films.

I am watching women's hockey right now, which I have never seen before. The events that are actually sports can be entertaining; the events that are scored by judges, like the x-game stuff and figure skating, are crap though.

yes it is very boring and stupid.
