It's amazing. I honestly am finding the Olympics hard to take seriously or care about. Every freaking swimming world record is being broken...the Chinese gymnasts are like 11 years old...the opening ceremony has fake fireworks superimposed on tv and singers lip syncing...the president of the United States is out hugging women volleyball players in bikinis...it just doesn't seem right.

LOL, it's the new world of artificial sweeteners, artificial fats, and artificial atheletes...

With China's severe restrictions on Internet acess, they really haven't gotten the notion about how easy it is to share information, pictures and speculation around the world. I wonder if they honestly think they're fooling anyone.

three or maybe as many as four are younger than 16. If they are not younger than 
16, then they are sick and in danger. There is a 68-pound girl (<B>Deng 
Linlin</B>) on that team is claiming to be 16 years old. That is not a healthy 
body. If she is 16 and weighs 68 pounds, someone ought to put her in a hospital. 
The Romanians, the Russians and the Americans all look age appropriate. The only 
country that apparently is cheating is China.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8204A035-55C7-42A7-8399-F42C6ED1AA6C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
