I noticed a couple of things the last 2 days that make absolutely no sense to me, but maybe you can explain it to me.

First, the USA Olympic uniforms are made in China??

Second, Heineken is the official beer of the London Olympics?? Not Newcastle. Not Bass. Not Boddingtons. Not Fullers.

Can someone please explain how these things make sense??

Cheers and thanks,
Barger

    It's a disease,... and they're all green
    It emanates from their being
    A satiation,.. with occupation

    And like weeds,.. with big leaves
    Stealing light from what's beneath
    Where they have more,...
    Still they take more

    most US flags (Old Glory) are made in China.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    The summer olympics for me rank somewhere behind bowling and wart removal commercials in my level of interest.

    Me too. Very pumped for the Olympics. Basketball, track & field, swimming are the best. It's also fun to watch obscure sports like table tennis, horse jumping, etc...

    horse jumping? the only good thing about that is the woman's outfit....

    they should add bull riding and barrel racing. :lol:

    If it's any sort of international sporting competition where you are representing your country, chances are that I will watch.

    Bull riding and barrel racing are great ideas! I think they do have skateboarding and BMX riding..

    i used to get into them when i was younger, but now it's Bob Costas sitting around trying to over dramatize everything.

    i'll watch a little, but very little....olympics hold littel intrigue for me.


    oh yeah...soccer chicks....they are good to watch :lol:

    It does become a little overdramatic. But, it is pretty crazy that these people train for 3-4 years and it all leads up to one moment.

    It's all about the £££££££'s actually add a few extra ££££'s to that too,

    I mean, Mcdonalds is a main sponsor of the Olympics ... freaking Mcdonalds.

    are they providing the athletes with their daily meals too? ugh, since I've been doing P90x, I literally cannot eat McDonalds...unless it's my day off, but even then I feel like crap the next day.
