Wow...I know a lot of people are not talking about this...but after what I read today, I just have to say something.

Is anyone else shocked by the displays and scandals taking place with the Olympics?  Well, for starters, the opening ceremonies that drew so much attention was not all it was cracked up to be.  From what I heard from televised reports, much of it was prerecored and fake.

Secondly, I read that the young girl that sand the beautiful song at the opening was not actually singing.  I read that she was lip syncing because the young girl that actually sang the song was considered, "too ugly" to be televised.

Now, today...I read that three athletes have been banned and the medals they won stripped because of taking some type of illegal drugs.

And most importantly...an American citizen was killed and another remains in guarded condition after a "random" attack where the murderer jumps to his death moments later.  I don't know..to me that doesn't sound like the actions of a criminal committing a random crime.

OH!  And lets not forget the wrestler who takes his bronze medal off and drops it on the mat at the medal ceremony and walks away.

I mean...am I the only person who is finding all of these events tasteless and just plain ole' poor form?  I'm just glad I have not heard anything negative about our atheletes.
