The Olympics
 

I can't see a thread about the Olympics, so f*ck it, I might aswell start one :))

Anyone see the Hungarian guy in weightlifting? Make sure you're not eating when you watch the clip.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :barf: That has got to hurt !!!!!!!!!!!!

OWCH :shock::shock::shock::shock: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NBC is broadcasting the Olympics, and evidently someone posted the video on YouTube probably without permission. So I imagine when NBC found out, they had it taken off.
NBC is maintaining very tight control. Shortly after the Olympics started, I couldn't get videos off the NBC Olympics site any more because they refused to recognize the major Cablevision area from where I receive my cable connection.
I sure hope the wrestler is able to walk.
UPDATE: Looked this accident up in Google; turns out his back is fine; he had pulled his elbow out of the socket, and that was why he was screaming. His back is fine. He's no doublt 'out' for the rest of the year, so the news article goes, but he's fine now.

lol ok but it is gross ;)

Should I ask for a description in December? Nah...think I shall pass...pictures were enough...

Anyone else feel a bit bad for that Chinese girl who sang the opening ceremony song but because she had a face like it had been hit with a wok got substituted for a much prettier girl?

Pud :twisted:

yeah...that sucks. China's defence was that they wanted the opening to be PERFECT!!!
Did that girls parents not have a slight objection???

hence the digital addition of the fireworks to the broadcasted opening ceremony as well, they were worried the smog would obscure them.

imagine the sound of the weights coming down then his screams and you're pretty much there ;) only thing those pics dont show really is the force the weights came down on him and his body shaking quite disturbingly after on the floor :?

It's got to be pretty devastating to be told you've spawned an ugly kid :retard: On the plus side though she was a pretty good singer, so she could get a job as a studio singer...LOL

Pud :twisted:

I don't just feel bad...I feel scared...it took me 1/2 hour to get terrified during opening ceremonies...that many Chinese THAT synchronized is terrifying for somebody who grew up in Soviet Ukraine...

They probably didn't...girls are considered very inferior in China anyway...you can even get a special permission for a second child if you're a farmer and have a girl...

Oh my god...and I thought you're such a sweet person...LOL...I don't watch any scary movies with you!!!

Don't know if anyone watched the 100m mens qualifying, but Usain Bolt practically jogged the 100m in 9.92 :shock: that kinda boggles the mind as to how fast he can actually go.

Pud :twisted:

Yeah saw that this afternoon, be interesting to see how fast he runs when he really tries, had to feel sorry for the Brit drawn against him in the same heat who looked like he was going to burst a few veins trying.

Saw that too. I've never seen anyone make it look so easy. Can't wait to see what happens when he turns on the power.

:twisted: I must comment on how well done the opening ceremony was 8) .

Routines involving up to a thousand people at a time in perfect harmony with every one of their fellows.
Complex performances requiring split second timing by all concerned to make it work.

Only oppression has the power to get people working together like that.

That's why if you ever watch the opening ceremony in a democratic country, it's bound to be shit :shit: .

"Beat that drum in perfect time, or you'll never see the trainee factory again" :bleh: .

I saw this weight lifting thingy happen live, i just looked and I went, noooooo, what the h*ll. And then I shouted, "You have to come see this." How awfull am I.
