When?

Will the Winter Olympics mercifully go away? It's almost as bad as having to read about the eternal Middle East conflicts.

Couldn't the phrase "Never Again" apply here? Can you say "Super Bowl?" "Soccer?" "Religion?"

Isn't it the time that humanity found the time to devoting itself to other things, like malaria, ovarian cancer, river blindness, poverty, homelessness, drug abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse and religious insanity?

How can something like the Olympics -- the crazy joke that they are -- contribute a single thing to the betterment of the human race?

I would dearly love to hear a scholarly discussion on just why the Olympics, or frankly, any other "sporting event" contribute a single thing to human society.

I mean, as compared to "American Idol Contestant Arrested For Break And Enter," how can any headline be as banal as "Canada Advances, but Struggles With Slovakia."

WHO THE FUCK COULD GIVE A SHIT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND?
