What will those be like, I wonder? Will there be little child dancers fighting the evil Pink Triangle trying to recruit them into homosexuality? Will the ladies of Pussy Riot perform a touching song about how beautiful life can be in a gulag? Will Putin ride out on a horse, all macho and bare-chested? What about Edward Snowden in a bodysuit? Toilets that will actually work?
Honestly, at this time, unless the opening ceremonies include a festive parade of happy gay people with their newly adopted stray dogs, I really don’t wanna watch ’em. The idea of Putin’s Russia putting on a show about world peace and love is too ludicrous for consideration. I had a difficult time watching the Beijing Olympics because I have a problem with how that country treats the Falun Gong and Christians–looks like these Olympics will be an equally painful event.

absolutely! i always watch the opening ceremonies but i gave this one a miss, not just the opening but the whole thing, i won’t add my viewing support to such a lie.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who’s feeling this way! I’m not so much officially boycotting the Olympics…as trying to convince myself to give them another chance and failing. No matter how I try, I just can’t enjoy watching them.
