The Olympics are pretty cool. I watched the gymnastics and swimming. What is concerning to me is that the stands are empty. What the hell is going on here? I think the organizers have made the price of tickets so high that the people of Grease cannot afford it. Maybe it the Olympic Committee stops stealing so much money they can lower the price. The other thing we need to do is get the NBA players off the team. These whiny millionaires cannot get past their egos. If they want to play we should charge them each 1,000,000 dollars if they lose. I think having pro’s on the teams take spots that would be used by true Olympic athletes. Hell we may as well send the Pistons over there or for baseball send the Yankees.  The only other complaints I have is the TV coverage and the stupid commercials. Bob Costas is OK but he cannot carry the show by himself. They need to get Mike Ditka or John Madden as a second fiddle. The commercials are pretty lame. Hundreds of beer commercials. I am sure that athletes that compete at the Oylimpic level slam Bud’s every chance they get. When the difference between 1st and last place is 0.2 seconds, a few beers will always make the difference. The worst commercial was a toe nail fungus add. They had a realistic cartoon toenail that lifted off the nail bed and these ugly cartoon Fungi jumped in. Even the color of the Fungi was gross. These pills they sell take three months to work and can destroy your liver. How about going to a Podiatrist and letting the doctor decide the treatment. I am sure that many people who saw this commercial were as disgusted as I was. Right after this they had a commercial for Applebee's. I am sure that company was happy. I will never go to another Applebee's because now I associate them with Toe Jam.
	One more thing. I heard that they have Badminton as an Olympic sport. That must be exciting. My idea is to have EXTREME BADMINTON. We could have the court surrounded by a mote of lava. (Lava is cool) and then have the Birdies packed with high explosives. A computer will randomly detonate the Birdie after it goes into play. The other thing I thought of involved the Floor Exercise and Hi-Velocity Paint Ball Guns. My wife though it would be cool to have the vault horse randomly change height and also do the same with the Uneven and Parallel Bars.
