Just When It Couldn't Get Worse (Olympic Edition)

Really?  This was the winner for the U.S. Olympic team?  Yikes!  Just another reason not to watch - my eyes!  At least they had the wherewithal to have them made in the U.S.  You can't say that about most Ralph Lauren merchandise...

It's not often that I would say, "Poor Zach Parise"

Click here for an amusing slideshow of this year's Olympic uniforms.

Update:  I can't believe they've sold out of these hideous cardigans, and they're selling on ebay for $3,000! 

Just Say "No"...to the Olympics

Yep, I'm not watching the Olympics, and frankly, I'm surprised at how unabashedly excited everyone seems to be about Sochi.  It's kind of embarrassing.  I guess it's easy to brush off any concerns about the human rights of Russia's citizens - queer or not - in the service of good television, I mean, displays of superior athleticism in service to nationalistic pride.

I actually really like the winter Olympics (remember, I went to Vancouver), but this just feels wrong in so many ways that I can't stomach it.  I will probably get a lot of reading and/or knitting done while the ladyfriend watches Olympic hockey (yes, she's watching).  I will, however, watch highlights on SportsCentre.
