Some of the events are fun to watch (Hockey) but lets put this sports event in overall perspective. It has zero and I mean zero effect on my life. Similar to the Stuper Bowl.

His attitude, his demeanor, heck Bode himself is exactly the type of athlete/entertainer that the Olympics has been aiming for for quite some time. The absolute marketing of everything and anything, the pure schlock and ticky-tack souveniers, the pandering media coverage, the over-priced ticketing and food concessions, the uncontrolled sponsorship marketing, advertising, and promotional gizmos have all led to this. Bode is simply the human face of what the Olympics has finally become. A "who-cares-about-the-sports?" attitude that concentrates on only one thing: How much money can we make? I haven't watched much of the Olympics at all, because I cannot bear to watch what was once a great and proud tradition and organization turn into the cesspool of mediocrity that it has become. I'm surprised that the 5-ring flag symbol hasn't been replaced with a "for sale" sign, since that's the Olympic's motto anyway. Respects, Gwedd Comrades,

Of course, that would be true only if he actually WON once or twice in his five events...
