WTF 8.6-8.10


Yeah NASA!
-Matt


No Smart-ass commentary here.  Just an “’attaboy”.  Good job NASA.

Another example of stellar parenting
-Matt


Yes, the 15 year old boy is a dumbass, but my question is: Where were the parents for the four day marathon?  They obviously had no problem with the child being sequestered to his room, with marginal access to food or drink (proven by his hospitalization for severe dehydration).  Listen, I like video games as much as the next guy, and so do my children though the most they can do right now is drive into the wall while trying to play Mario Kart, but I’ll be damned if I am going to let them go on a four day binge where they do nothing else.  The fact that the parents have now removed the Xbox is a good start, but their inaction during the ordeal proves their ineffectiveness as parents.

Race-Walking?  Really?
-Matt


I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that race-walking is a sport, or the fact that people are actually doping to win at it.  Seriously?  A “sport” that old people do in the mall get’s it’s own place in the Olympic games, and its own doping scandal?  For the love of Christ.  I won’t even talk about this douche of a human being that is “relieved” that he was caught.  Shut the fuck up.  No one believes you and no one will even care who you are after this.  You cheated at walking.  Congrats.  Douche.

Might have wanted to think this one through
-Matt


Hey, I am all for a shocking ad campaign (be it clandestine or not) but who thought it was a good idea to do this?  Sure it gets the message across, but it could also cause a massive car accident from concerned citizens trying to get a better look and determine its legitimacy.  If you are going to do that you have to make the dummy as unrealistic as possible to ensure that there is no possibility of misinterpretation. 

Probably better ways to handle bullying
-Matt


I get it, you don’t want to be bullied.  No one does.  Not everyone is beautiful so their chance of getting bullied will increase.  But you are telling me that the way to counteract that is through plastic surgery, on a fourteen year old?  The thing is, the doctor that performed the surgery said that he chose Nadia based on her “deformities”.  Really?  Having big ears is a deformity?  It’s not like she had a cleft pallet.  She had big ears.  Yeah, she wasn’t a looker, but that does not mean that she has a deformity, especially one that requires plastic surgery.  This feels like overkill that is setting a horrible precedent for other children bullied about their looks and this doctor seems like an attention whore.  Just another instance to diminish my faith in America.

Alcohol plus Olympics equals fun?
-Matt


This would have been so much better if he was actually drunk while cycling.  If the IOC is going to kick people out for getting plastered then I guess I will never be an Olympian (and here I was going to try out for the race-walking team in four years).
