Olympic Waste

So I was ripping on the Olympics over dinner when Xtina set me straight.

'What a waste,' I said.

'Whats that?'

'The Olympics. Its an absolutely amazing worldwide waste. If all those people with all that money wanted to actually do something *constructive* they could. Rebuild New Orleans. End poverty. Repair the damage from the Tsunami. Stop the war in Iraq. But NO, they fuck around Skiing.'

'But...'

'And Skating,' I iterated.

'...well...'

'*Figure* Skating,' I reiterated.

'...but the world *needs* to get together.'

'Fucking ***Figure Skating***?' I re-reiterated.

'Its like this. The world needs to get together and do something Pointless together. The same way people need to go out and get drunk and play Darts with people they work with.'

'Hmm. I guess.'

'Or Bowling. Now if all those people with all that energy and money focused it on something more *constructive*...'

'Right,' I admitted, 'Good point.'

Long pause.

'Well,' I continued, 'at least they could get rid of the sports commentators. Whatever they pay them is a waste...'
