What's insulting to me is that the Chinese government assumes we're all too dumb to see they're trying to pull the wool over our eyes. And the ridiculous thing is that they think that by doing such awful things to appear perfect to the world (and the world seeing through it all), they're showing their true colors brighter than ever before! China is a stunningly beautiful country that is dripping with culture, history and awesome take-out! If they'd just relax and be themselves, they'd naturally come by the image they're trying to portray, but by forcing perfection, they're showing themselves to be truly ugly. Very sad.

I haven't been watching the Olympics this time around. I usually love Summer Olympics but this time the media has really soured the experience for me.

It was a joke. You trimmed the punchline.

Phelps 100 fly: O. M. G.

I thought he was beat for sure! I had to watch those replays I don't know how many times and I still wasn't convinced! The officials had to slow them down to 1/10,000th of a second to confirm that he touched the wall first! GO MICHAEL! YEAH!!!!

Sure, I knew about that, they've had that for years (it can be pretty hard to make out just with the naked eye in the heat of a close race)
