today, michael phelps broke two world records and won two other gold medals. in one day. that brings his total olympic gold medals tally to 11--higher than any athlete in history--as the superhuman (he can't possible by a homo sapien!) strives to get 3 more golds to break olympic record.

i watched that game just now and i was like.

shit. this man is the closest thing we have to DC Comics' aquaman or Marvel's namor in real life.

and that football game between cameroon and italy? the commentator called it "the worst football game so far... the worst game in the Games in Beijing so far". just because you are seeded for the quarter finals for sure doesn't mean that you play shit football that would even make steve mclaren take out his biggest brolly to hide under and bore even raymond domenech. people are always saying about how football and olympics never take each other seriously (sepp blatter or no sepp blatter), and the least the olympic football teams can do is to at least take the olympics--the highest epitome of sports (for sport other than football, i guess)--seriously and play their games properly. billions of people are viewing the olympics and they should show that they are treating the tournament--and the audiences--with respect, by playing like real football players, not like hungover drunkards.

yeah, i'm always goddamn pissed whenever professional football players--who are extremely well paid for playing football professionally--do not have the proper mindset and attitude to play. for god's sake: people are spending time and money to watch them, so the least they can do is to try their best not to let these people down.

anyway, in europe: a pig with mud phobia don shoes to walk in mud and inflatable shits are flying around!

in this age of global economic slowdown, global threat, global fuel and food crisis, there is nothing like global stupid-news to make your day. if all else fails, there is still the darwin awards.

by the way, LJ has been lagging on me--terribly. am i the only one who's experiencing this?
