I have a fever. the only cure is more Warmbo.

Dosbilliam

...This seems early. Not complaining, just O.o

Joshua Cubbin

If y'all haven't seen it, the Australian TV comedy series "The Games" is a satire of the preparation for the 2000 Olympics. It's both very funny and also pretty insightful about how terrible the IOC and Olympics is in general.

Douglas Boyle

You better not talk shit about Curling...

Rob Jobin

SPOILERS: The idea of an Olympic island is inspired. "Oh, you want to keep having Olympics? Better not let this island disappear into the ocean."

Jona

Damn, that was a lot of China bashing.

Andrew Carkner

The 1976 olympics in my city was supposed to cost $300M but ended up costing $1.5B. It took the city 30 years to pay off that debt

Johnny A

Katy gets a gold medal in "Loving us very much!"

Matthew McCoy

Warmbo could compete in the 100 meter scuttle.

Sharien

oh hey the IOC weirdly reminds me of FIFA... like they are the exact same type of corrupt capitalist wankers

Steven Smith

Razz me like one of your French girls Cody

YungCereza

Psyched that you and Robert dropped two anti-Olympics pieces on the same day; genuinely the kind of energy and coordination I like to see in my news media

Armando MC

Sports shirts...like for my team: The Wrasslin' Warmbos

Cory

Vancouver and Calgary made money for the cities. Guess anglophone Canadians are the only ones who can pull that off.

Gabe

It’s all about $

nico

I would just love to share a cig and a bump with Cody

The olympics suck for the locals, for the state, for the city, but the ideal is worth it. It's not a ideal that can Control the things you said its not fighting for. It can't stop world hunger, homelessness, human rights, but it can help spread the idea that we can compete equally. It can grow from being something that was supported by an evil 100 years ago, and be better today than it was before. Yeah the corruption sucks, the stain it leaves sucks, the racists you talked about (from 70 years ago) sucks. It's a sporting event, its about showing that your guy can compete against their guy, and not Need a war.

The merchant class has a habit of ruining everything natural and human by its constant desire to monetize everything.

Marie Strange

Ever since I saw the first TV broadcast I've always wondered how Hitler hosted the Olympics. It always threw up red flags for me. Like wtf?!
