An Open Letter to the IOC
ioc_ybnby.gif
Watching the Olympics last night, I realized something significant. Something so glaring, so horrible, and so insulting, that it makes the Chinese Gymnast Age Controversy look like a game of midget Tiddlywinks.

Here, I present my strongly worded open letter to the I.O.C.

Dear International Olympic Committee,
You are as useful as a half-inch tampon string. You must wake up each morning and realize you've defecated in your bed (again) due to a severe lack of control. Tying your shoelaces must give you a headache. I know this, because you've continually allowed "Race-Walking" to be an Olympic sport.

Let's take a moment and list some of the sports not in the Olympics:
  • Rugby
  • Cricket
  • Beer Pong/Beirut
  • Surfing
  • Bowling
  • Calvinball
So what you're saying is that a sport, which is practiced by old women with fake hips in malls, is more of a sport than someone standing on the back of a glorified plank of wood, running down the side of a wave, while avoiding leg-tearing coral and drowning. In other words, my Grandmother is more of an athlete than Rodney So'oialo, captain of the New Zealand All Blacks? Hell, the All Black's Haka alone is enough to make the glorified mall-walkers piss in their Depends outside the Gap.

If you continue to allow Race-Walking to be a sport, you're opening the door for a flood of other sports. Soon, we'll have "fast-typing" and "best nose hair trimming." "Come on kids, let's go down to the stadium and watch extreme teeth-brushing!"

No, I.O.C., I won't stand for this. You are spitting on us. Banging us so far in the ass that you're actually hitting intestine. Someone is paying you off. There's no way we could go this long with this sport event. Oh, and while you're at it, could you insist that all female athletes, no matter what the sport (except the shot-putters), be required to wear beach volleyball attire? Thanks!

Echo - I agree completely with your assessment of the IOC and its usefulness. However, your reference to, and knowledge of, tampon strings and ass-banging may have something to do with your lady's frequent 'business trips'.

Just something to ponder ...

Hilarious.

One can only hope Race Walking goes the way of past Olympic sports that have been eliminated like ballooning, plunge for distance, underwater swimming, and standing highjump

Tim - Echo's reference to, and knowledge of, the word "Tiddlywinks" concerns me too.

Echo - I agree. The I.O.C. is about as useful as tax advice from Wesley Snipes. At least make Race-Walking interesting, and have them race on ice...with broken glass scattered across the slippery rink. That would be pretty neat.

Can we have "diving off a ridiculously high board into a glass off water" as an olympic sport? Yosemite Sam FTW!!!

said Sheriff Pablo on August 22, 2008 6:25 PM.

Um, how come no mention about trampoline being an Olympic sport? I thought it was just a drunken bbq past time to get girls to jump up and down. Alas, it too is an Olympic sport. Don't even get me started about synchronized diving?!?!?!

Calvinball!

YES!

WE MUST HAVE CALVINBALL IN THE OLYMPICS.

get rid of equestrian and rhythmic gymnastics. add skateboarding and sepak takraw <--- the best sport i have ever fucking watched

Nice letter - unfortunatley though you got the All Blacks captain wrong.... Richie McCaw is the captain - Rodney So'oialo is the vice-captain, though he did recently stand as captain while McCaw was injured.

Regarding the beach volleyball attire - I'm not so sure that's a good idea for the women's weightlifting...

In flipping past channels with coverage last Thursday I came across this, having no idea it existed. It's impossible to take seriously. It'd be like auto racing where you can't go over 30mph. You know those people that go slow in the left lane? You can go pro!

That, and the athletes look like malnourished ducks waddling about. I doubt any of them weigh over 120lbs.

This is potentially the last year that Softball will be an Olympic sport, and yet race-walking remains. Yeeeaaaaah.

I was going to add something about wanting to see male athletes in the women's volleyball attire, but the idea of nut slips is entirely unappealing.
