If you want to read more about fake sports in the Olympics, but this time by people who are funny, read this post and the accompanying comments at the always-hilarious Poor Man. Those guys are funny.
Then read the Onion: “Olympic Committee Announces Judging Panels for Men’s, Women’s Ice Hockey,” in which judges will assign scores for “technical achievement, overall impression, and artistic interpretation.” The Onion (America’s finest news source) explains that “the new system is intended to be more fan-friendly, more intuitive, and less absolute than the old system, in which winners of hockey games were chosen based on the points scored.” Those guys are really funny.
Please share widely!
But snowboard cross is awesome, like a cross between roller derby and NASCAR.
