The Legend of Bagger Trans! Posted by Psychocktail (11980 views) [E-Mail link]	[Sports]
World's most boring game welcomes transsexuals! At last, something interesting from the world of golf, a narcissistic activity weighed down with the phallic symbolism of clubs, balls and holes.

Will American Gymnast Keep Gold Medal He Didn't Earn? Posted by Bullwinkle (9650 views) [E-Mail link]	[Olympics]
It seems the U.S. Olympic officials have thrown a hissy fit in light of the International Gymnastics Federation writing to Olympian Paul Hamm and requesting he give his gold medal to Korean Yang Tae-young, who was determined to be the winner of the event after an analysis of the scores and the correction of a judging error. The buzz online seems to be split between arrogance that Hamm can't possibly be at fault, and that other errors were made that weren't corrected, and the notion that an honorable competitor would never accept a medal he didn't earn. Personally, it seems like giving the medal to the superior competitor would not only be the right thing to do, but a great PR move on the part of Hamm. Will he do so? I saw the competition and Hamm's performance was nowhere near as good as others.

Web Site Celebrates Last-Place Olympians Posted by Bullwinkle (9765 views) [E-Mail link]	[Olympics] [The "Buzz"]
Finally, a place to celebrate the unsung losers. We get to find out who finishes first in every race, but the fun stuff is which countries are at the top of the list in tanking every event.

Alice Cooper Claims Political Rock is "Treason." Posted by Pile (4828 views) [E-Mail link]	[Entertainment]
Aging, Republican shock-rocker Alice Cooper, in what most of his THC-saturated fans don't recognize as incredible irony, claims that Anti-Bush musicians are committing rock treason and music and politics shouldn't be mingled. Alice Cooper has apparently finished nailing his coffin of integrity and now joins the ranks of other noble musicians supporting Bush including Britney Spears, Toby Keith and Ted Nugent. I smell a new supergroup forming!

Olympics yes; American occupation, no Posted by wizeGurl (9407 views) [E-Mail link]	[Olympics]
The Iraqi soccer team that President Bush has been so happy about lately, touting their new freedom to win in the Olympics, is not happy with being used as a political tool to promote Bush.

IOC ever-vigilant against "advertising terrorism" Posted by Pile (9106 views) [E-Mail link]	[Olympics]
Athens seems like a pretty cool place to be for the Olympics, but it seems a lot of people are upset about the International Olympic Committee's obsessively facist rules to enforce what they call "Clean Venue Policy" - a nice way of saying you can't have even the slightest mention of products/logos that may conflict with a paying sponsor. One frustrated atendee said, "I was asked to turn my shirt inside out at the entrance to a match, because the logo was too large and I was sitting in front-row seats, where the TV cameras would have caught sight of me for sure," It's bad enough koke has taken over the event and forced even the althetes themselves to drink from label-stripped cans and bottles if they're not of a particular brand, but the IOC has gone even more overboard, policing everything from computer screen savers to spare change.

Most Olympic participants banned from publishing web content Posted by RantMaster (9603 views) [E-Mail link]	[Olympics]
Apparently, to protect its lucrative broadcasting contracts, the IOC is restricting most Olympic competitors and support personnel from publishing any first-hand accounts, pictures or related media online for the duration of the games. Again, freedom of expression seems to take a back seat to profit generation.

Tourist "finds" trove of Beatles memorabilia at flea market Posted by RantMaster (8466 views) [E-Mail link]	[So-They-Say] [Entertainment]
People all over the world are celebrating the exquisite "find" Fraser Claughton supposedly purchased for $36 at an Australian flea market. A suitcase containing a over 400 pictures and unreleased recording sessions of the Beatles. Am I the only one here who thinks this story smells? And now people all around the world are once again led to believe that multi-million dollar collections like this are findable in a flea market. As if, whoever was selling this suitcase wouldn't have bothered to take a look at what was inside? At least one newspaper calls the guy's claim to have purchased the lot at a flea market, "suspicious". It seems if you come across something like this, a perfect excuse to avoid having to explain how you got your hands on it is to say you picked it up at a flea market, and "whoops" we can't find who sold it to you. Yea right.

Online Olympics coverage blocked Posted by Pile (9693 views) [E-Mail link]	[Media] [Olympics]
Many of you may be excited about the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece. Unfortunately, in the USA, NBC's exclusive contract regarding licensing of the content has forced outlets in other countries to limit access to superior coverage online. Other sites such as BBC have live coverage that they're forced to restrict access to from people in the United States. To make matters worse, NBC is requiring viewers to enter their credit card number online to prove they're within the proper region in order to gain access to some online Olympics content.
