2006 Winter Olympics

Am I the only one who thinks that this year's winter Olympics have been disappointing, to say the least about them? Here we have yet another strange/embarrassing account of the goings-on in Turin.

That we're seeing so many poor performances, odd incidents, and incidents of bad behavior could be due to the greater access the media has to the negative things that happen. But then, evidently these negative things are actually happening. The pictures we are seeing and the stories we are reading every day are originating somewhere.

It appears to me that the highlights of the 2006 Winter Olympics will be reduced to examples of bad taste, cases of poor judgement, and outtakes for future blooper programs.

So sad for those who went over there and honestly gave it their best.
