Olympic Censorship & Other News

The Olympic committee is admitting that contrary to what China promised when they were given the 2008 games, the press will not be given unfettered access to the internet at the media center. And they definitely don't want to do it from their hotel since a Senator has revealed that China is instructing hotels to let them spy on the internet activities of guests (although my guess is that this isn't a new thing). Like, OMG, I can't believe a dictatorship that has always censored information would decide to back out of any commitments to the contrary to censor the outside world. Good news is that porn is available. I like the fact that the IOC douchebags are pretending that this was somehow negotiated although they've since flipped on this. But as I've said before, the IOC was plain stupid to give the Olympics to China. The idea that handing a giant PR prize to a dictatorship would somehow open it up more is rather ludicrous. Based on the past, they should have expected the exact opposite. Two years after Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics, the Germans celebrated with Kristallnacht. The next year, they invaded Poland which led to a localized little conflict. The IOC had already awarded Moscow the Olympics when the USSR invaded Afghanistan. Although since the Soviet Union collapsed due to crushing economic problems, maybe having to pay for a giant event like that hastened their demise. Since Russia seems to be sliding back to old style Soviet repression, maybe it's not too late to move the 2012 Olympics from London to Moscow.

We are talking about the IOC. They recently banned Iraq from this year's games due to government interference in the local Olympic committee. Because appointing your own Olympic officials is such a horrible thing that a country deserves banishment, but if a dictator's son runs the committee and likes to torture athletes, welcome aboard.

I don't really like baseball. I don't really like the Yankees. I'm actually indifferent about Alex Rodriguez. Yet, I was happy to read that he wants his prenup to be enforced. And not just because I speculated once that he must have a good one. Let's face it. Based on her previous behavior at allegations of his philandering, she was well aware of what type of relationship she was in. He'll stick his dick anywhere. But that has nothing to do with it. I just don't want her to cash in based on nothing other than the fact that she got a rich man to marry her. They've been married for six years. He was a major star long before that. What has she really done to add to the family income?

I was trolling through some British news websites in my usual hunt for stories with scantily clad women that they were trying to pass themselves off as news and ran across this heart-warming story about a woman born with one arm who has won a competition for the best disabled model in England. After reading it, my first thought was obviously "I'd hit that". Does that make me a bad person? Well, a worse person than my reputation already is?

A couple of good shooting stories. First one is a man who shot his wife while trying to shoot the fox eating her leg. But it was an accident. Why do I get the feeling that someone down the road is going to get a fox to attack his wife and "accidentally" shoot her in the head? Second story was a guy shooting his lawnmower when it didn't work. Shockingly, drunkenness may have been involved. Of course, I would have viewed it differently. Lawnmower doesn't work? Great. Means I don't have to mow the grass.

Screech is writing a book about Saved By The Bell. Now, I watched the show with some minor amusement, but unless I find out that the guy who played Mr. Belding nailed a couple of the actresses, I don't really care. Yet, some people probably do. Which is what I find interesting. Why did Screech think of doing a sex tape to earn money before writing a book?

Newest info from the Florida missing toddler case is that her lying bitch of a mother was photographed at a club party after the child disappeared. Kind of makes you wish they'd bring back the rubber hoses for questioning.

There are people in Germany who think the voting age should be dropped to......well, infants. Are these people retarded? Have they never been around children? I've previously made it known what I thought of young voters who were at least voting age. Now they want to go younger? Again, are these people retarded? We're talking about giving the vote to people who can't decide what juice box they want. Or know how to use the toilet.

Now, my laziness when it comes to getting up early and exercising at any time means a military career was out of the question, but since many family members served, I take exception when some stupid bastards don't recognize the sacrifices made by members of the military. Like video taping themselves having sex on a memorial to Canadian soldiers who died in France during World War I. I realize that people in France can be confused about the concept of victory monuments, but they still should have more respect. Plus, what's the friggin' point of having it there? When I watch porn (which only happens very frequently), I don't really look to see if they are having sex on something I recognize. Unless it's the hood of my car, because that can damage the paint job. Since it's a Canadian monument, my suggestion to stop that behavior is to play Celine Dion songs 24/7. That will kill the mood.

DRUNK BRITISH CHICKS: Usually that phrase isn't scary (outside of hygiene issues). It can often be quite fun. Unless it's a couple of stupid British chicks who get drunk on a plane and try to open a door. I like the fact that the report says they "may" be charged. WTF? Trying to open the door at 30,000 feet "MAY" lead to charges? How is that not a slam dunk indictment? Do you wait until she gets the door open before you indict? Hate to tell you, but at that point, she won't be worrying about the legal system.

Ali Lohan (sister of famous actress/whore/lesbian/junkie Lindsay) auditioned for some horror flick (which I'm sure will be Oscar nominated). Apparently the producer running the audition was some dude who normally produces porn, but must be trying to mainstream himself. Reportedly, Ali's mother, Momma-Needs-A-New-Meal-Ticket, is pretty angry about it. Porn is such an exploitive industry. Unlike doing a reality show around your 14 year old daughter even though your last project was her older sister who became an actress/whore/lesbian/junkie.
