woot woot! USA pulled it off in this one...what an exciting competition! Between this and short track speed skating, my heart has been beating a little faster tonight!
What was NOT exciting....Canadian hockey: holy shiza, lets just give Canada the gold and all go to the bar to relax..... |

seriously.....I thought it was a complete butcher job and a disgrace to Canadians everywhere. There is nothing worse then messing around with a National Anthem....they should be song one way and one way only. |

Call me cynical, but the sheer amount of native imagery is starting to look exploitative. We're talking about people that we on 364 days a year, and yet when we want some culture from them, we're all of a sudden their best friend.
Hmmm... makes me think of a drug dealer or a pimp. |
I actually agree with you 100% here...in my country and yours.... :( |

Americans do it all the time. Each famous singer basterdizes the anthem to their own flava.
Rosanne did it best. |

and it's no better when they do it....as far as I'm concerned her citizenship should be taken from her and she should be thrown into the olympic caldron.
As for the ceremonies...I thought they were good...the whale scene was absolutely stunning. |

yeah, just watched Kearney (it was during her run)...dammit...American on Canadian soil to a Canadian artist's tracks.
Was really hoping Heil won. Guess we'll have to wait. |

| anyone else get really annoyed by the american's after the moguls? Jennifer Hiel handled that very well and very proudly. She is a true Canadian and showed a lot of class...unlike the baboons she was competing with. American's really just dig themselves deeper and deeper every time they are in the limelight. |
