The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
The entire top of the Drudge Report right now is him whining because the President of the United States wants to have the Olympics in the United States.
Who the fuck am I kidding, TOKYO 2016 BECAUSE NO ONE FUCKING ELSE HAS A SHOT.
it's basically between chicago and rio, actually
Really? Well, color me shocked! I thought for sure Tokyo would get it. Asia all emerging as the power-house of the modern world and whatnot.
Rio should get it. Chicago has already had the Olympics and stuff.
Chicago actually hasn't had an Olympics. They almost did once, and were selected, but since St. Louis was having the World's Fair that year, they gave Chicago the finger and moved it to St. Louis.
I read an article having to do with China a couple of weeks ago and it's great because the government/press liaison still can't go more than thirty seconds without mentioning the 2008 olympics.
It was like a totally unrelated article criticizing China for something to do with human rights violations and it went right back to the "but did you see the 2008 Olympics?"
Ah, it's so fun reading Chinese rhetoric. Shame, face, foreigners, yadda yadda we want respect
London 2012 is going to bring nothing but shame upon this fair isle. I feel tremendously embarrassed already. London may well be one of the most important and influential cities in the world, but it's a hole. A shit sty filled with nothing but grime and filth. It's going to be Athens all over again, except we won't have the mystique of ancient greece to mask out budget problems.

first of all, old logo
second of all, the rowing events are supposed to take place on lake michigan and have the chicago skyline as a backdrop
Had no idea the Simpsons did an episode about that, honestly. I just want some Stockholm Syndrome.
Also I hear tell the weather's warm and toasty like an oven mitt.
You should hear how bad it is for London. Jesus Fucking Christ we can't ever have anything nice without 95% of the population moaning.
fucking London.

Also I can't wait until that is over and done with. It's going to be so crazy here and stuff just keeps getting more and more expensive.
Since when is wet ass unattractive?
How can you say that?
Look at this awesome logo that cost £250,000.
so very much so
You think the logo is bad, wait for the opening ceremony
Inner-city London school kids shivving eachother half way through? no thanks
Ok the Vancouver logo is pretty good.
Actually, their whole graphic design for the 2010 is really good, aside from that mouth.
how are people not seeing that?
It is so obvious guys.

Seeing as Beijing had the previous games, the IOC are reluctant to allow an asian nation to host the games again so soon.
I really want Chicago to win. But Rio would be cool too since South America has never hosted.
WINTER OLYMPIC MASCOT SUPERIOR, SUMMER OLYMPIC MASCOT INFERIOR.
Also, hoping for Chicago, but I'd also be happy with Madrid or Rio. Madrid's got the cool logo goin' on too.

If my sister happens to go to one of the schools in B.C., she will probably be one of your crazy hockey customers.
London's 2012 Mascot.

Get stabbed in the mouth and punched in the stomach.
