OOo-LYMPICS!

OoO-LYMPICS!! OooO-DRAMA! OooO-Awesome! Who knew that I was going to be THIS interested in the Olympics this year? I haven't been this excited about the Olympics since that girl broke her foot in the women's gymnastics team event, and still did a second vault to win it for the team! For some reason, a win isn't as spectacular without an injury. Phelps wins? Big deal! Phelps wins while swimming with 3 functional limbs? FANTASTIC! Here is my break down so far:

1) China is f-ing intimidating:

It took all but 30 seconds for me, and probably the entire nation, to realize that in the event of war, China could totally kick our asses.

Yeah, those are people. And yes, they're just there to drum. 2008 men just drumming. It's like China saying, "Yeah, we have 2008 drummers. If we wanted to we could bring out 400 million, your entire population, to drum and we'd still have several million more left to kick your asses if need be." It's a little unsettling.

2) China is FANCY:

Granted, I haven't witnessed that many Olympic opening ceremonies, but China's opening event had to have been the most beautiful, high-tech, and impressive one to date. In a span of a few hours China reminded the world:

• a. "We have the man power!"
• b. "We invented fireworks, bitches!"
• c. "We can make HUGE l.e.d screens."
• d. "We can do some amazing crap."
  

3) In your FRENCH FACES!!

Last night, the French were officially moded! They failed to smash the U.S. team in the 4 x 1oo, and after talking all that trash, I couldn't blame them for looking so sad. We SMOSHED them! HAHAH! It was awesome!

4) Stupid People!

I caught a glimpse of the TODAY show before going to work this morning. They were filming in Beijing, and they had people screaming in the background as they do when they're in their New York studios. Some people in the background were asked where they'd just come from, and lady replied, "We just came from watching the Men's Butterfly, and _______ won!"

Thanks a lot for ruining THAT for me, lady! It doesn't air until about 11 pm here. Freaken idiot.
