I saw a douchebag looking guy while I was boarding the ferry with a 'No Olympic games on stolen Native land'
I say: Fuck that! Show me a Native guy. I'll steal his land myself and hold my own Olympic games there.
The events will include: Seal Clubbing, Hobo Kicking, the Tire Burning challenge (with CFC spray can torch relay), and to top it all off everyone will drive home drunk after.
We'll serve endangered whale blubber and deep fried panda for snacks. The gold medals will be adorned with blood diamonds from Sierra Leone. They'll be presented by a kid with missing limbs who mined the diamond personally.
The Americans will be welcome, George W will be a special guest, and guns will be required in every sport.
It will be the best Olympic games ever. Posted via RS Mobile |

Woah huge luge accident to a Georgian Luger. CTV just showed the footage, and the guy flew off and hit a solid support structure. Basically wrapped himself around a pole (in terms of car speak).
ctv posted a article already http://www.ctvolympics.ca/luge/news/...crash+training Quote:
Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili suffered a major crash and was hurled off the track at one of the fastest points of the Whistler Sliding Centre on Friday during his second of two training runs.
The 21-year-old was near the bottom of the track on the final 270-degree turn when he hit one side of the wall, crashed into the other, and was thrown off his sled and over the wall. He appeared to hit a metal pole on the side of the track after he flew over the wall.
The accident occurred on the outrun, where we would have been traveling about 148 kilometres an hour.
Track medical staff immediately rushed to the scene, administered CPR and put Kumaritashvili on a stretcher before he was taken away in an ambulance. His condition is unknown.
An air ambulance was also seen en route.
Training was delayed after the accident and race officials say there will be a hold on the track. There will be more to follow on this as details become available.
Earlier Friday, reigning Olympic luge gold medallist Armin Zöggeler of Italy managed to walk away after crashing in his first run, but came back to complete a clean second run.
The two time Olympic champion and four-time medallist lost control in the lower section of his opening run, tearing down the track while holding on to his sled before coming to a halt. He stood up almost immediately after the crash.
Zöggeler was driven off in a medical vehicle, but returned for his second run, finishing in a time of 47.252 seconds.
He was neck-in-neck with leader Felix Loch of Germany, the reigning World Champion, when he crashed. Loch, who finished his first run in a time of 47.186, edged Zoeggeler in the World Championships last year.
Jeff Christie was the top Canadian after the first of two runs on Friday, sitting in eighth overall. The Vancouver native was first overall after Day 1 of training on Wednesday.
Calgary's Sam Edney was 11th, and fellow Calgarian Ian Cockerline was 25th.
Luge competition begins on Saturday with men's singles.

torch was suppose to come down the drive and then turn at 1st but i guess since there was a MASSIVE crowd/protestors by the park by britannia they decided to turn on clark and go down 1st LOL i was right on that corner waiting for the torch to come down commercial and it never did.. luckily i was at a coffee shop nearby and saw the route change.. and man it was a GONG SHOW. the cops went down 1st and then turned left on commercial which made us thought they were gonna go down the drive.. turns out it was a diversion and they went straight down 1st... LOL i got video of the torch passing by
as well as the HUGE mob of protestors that were choked cause the reroute totally fucked them over. closed down the street of 1st and commercial for awhile

| http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/G...532/story.html Georgian luger dies after horrifying crash at Whistler track Quote:
CBC is reporting that Georgian luge competitor Nodar Kumaritashvili has died after launching from the track and hitting his head on a metal pole during a training run Friday at Whistler Olympic Park.
The track is closed. Coaches of the national teams are in meetings with FIL, the international luge federation. The training run has been cancelled.
Kumaritashvili was going close to 150 km/h, near the end of the course, when he launched off the track. Witnesses say his body hit a metal pole. Medical personnel performed CPR through a plastic tube and almost immediately an ambulance rushed Kumaritashvili from Whistler Olympic Park to the local hospital.
Kumaritashvili turned 21 in November. He had competed in luge for Georgia since 2008. | Fuck
So young....RIP

Oh shit... sad to hear (and disturbing to see). It's also a black eye on Day 0 of the 2010 Olympics...
Edit: GAWD those were graphic pictures!
