We cats still hate the Olympics. Not only are the games overblown, tedious and self-important — the so-called "coverage" of them (translation: NBC News will air countless "news items" that are thinly veiled commercials for their broadcast) is ad-laden and jingoistic.
And if that's not enough, now everyone is running around screaming about terrorism.
Serves Vladimir Putin right. Not that we cats would have been going anyway, and we want all the openly gay athletes who are attending to represent the United States to return home safely. But after all of Pootie's execrable antics — supporting Assad in Syria, equating gays with pederasts, and shielding Edward Snowden (enjoy that free society over there, Ed) — we are hardly crying big tears on his behalf.
Besides, an outstanding American figure skater recently got screwed by the USOC after giving a flawless performance at the championships. What a farce. Tell us again — why should we care about all this?
P.S. This Olympics-related story, however, is kind of fun.
