Beijing Olympics Archives

Shawn Johnson’s got a stalker and he was arrested near the set of Dancing With the Stars, where Johnson is dancing out the last 3 minutes of her 15 minutes of fame. Robert “Pedobear” O’Ryan, the alleged stalker, jumped a fence at the studios and was arrested while trying to meet the object of his obsession. Police found in his car a shotgun and Colt .45 and a bunch of Johnson memorabilia, which, presumably, did not include any of her underwear.

Shawn Johnson is safe, but probably a bit freaked out, and her mom Terri says:

“This incident has caused us severe emotional distress, we have been on the move ever since and have not been able to rest at all for fear that this disturbed person will attempt to make good on his statements and attempt to harm my daughter and possibly us as well,”

I’d say she’s been on the move, lots of moves on that Dancing With the Stars show. Although, since I never watch it so I have no clue how she’s doing on it. She could move like a Wookie in a tar pit for all I know.

Bail for O’Ryan was set at $35,000 and a restraining order is in place for him to stay 100 yards away from Johnson and have zero contact with her. Yea…that’l do it. Just tell him not to stalk her. I’m sure no one has done that before. She’ll be totally safe now. Just remember kids, nothing can stop the Pedobear.

David Hasselhoff Needs Another Drink

Check out this video from last night’s broadcast of “America’s Got Talent”. Here’s the Hoff making an utter ass out of himself (yet again) by complimenting the contests for being “…as American as the Olympics are”. That’s right, because nothing is more American than the Olympics, just ask the Greeks…assclown.

Next Stop For Usain Bolt: Pants-Off Dance-Off


We can’t wait until Jacques Rogge criticizes Usain Bolt for excessive celebration for engaging in this dance off with Asafa Powell. Never mind the oppression and censorship in the background. Then again he’ll probably be too busy planning for the Naypyidaw Olympics.

It’s not quite Turbo and Ozone but this is so much better than watching Patra dance. I haven’t been able to watch Jamaicans dance since seeing her shake it in a video. That voice. Those nails. There was no question who was doing the fucking and it wasn’t me. The nightmares were like Freddy Krueger into dream. Hold me…

I’m not sure whether the British are trying to one up the Chinese but if they are, it’s a noble start. There’s no way the 2012 London Olympics could even begin to approach the CGI greatness of the Beijing opening and closing ceremonies. I guess they decided to go after the world’s heart in a different way by advertising their murderers instead of hiding behind state-sponsored subterfuge.

A montage of British achievement played behind British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and London mayor Boris Johnson as they promoted the 2012 Olympics in the UK. One of the images was of Myra Hindley otherwise known as the Moors Murderer. Hindley and her man kidnapped, sexually abused, tortured and killed four children back in the 60s. She also enjoyed the works of Adolf Hitler and the Marquis de Sade in her spare time. Good times!

Brown/Johnson was reported to be mighty pissed off but they had no worries. Hindley’s image was created from children’s hand prints. That’s so sweet. I think that fact just gave myself diabetes.

A spokesman for Visit Britain said that “the inclusion of the controversial work showed that there was no ‘censorship’ in the UK but promised to withdraw it immediately”. Riiiiight. It doesn’t make sense to remove the image when Britain has had a solid line of quality murderers. Jack the Ripper must be rolling in his grave.

This Announcer Has A Firm Grasp of History

Its difficult to really understand what on EARTH announcer Willie Oviedo was thinking when he came up with this Anchorman like Olympics history lesson.

Old Chinese Women Kill Olympic Buzz


Stupid old hags. You old Chinese women have some nerve. Protesting about abuses and corruption. Don’t they know the Olympics are happening? Don’t they know all is well and there’s nothing to see in China besides the glory of the Middle Kingdom? Don’t you know your home was sacrificed for the betterment of the country? Can’t you see NBC is filming an infomercial about all the wonderful things China has to offer? Re-education through labor will make you see how your request to protest would ruin everything. Sluts.


It’s interesting how my friend Don Francisco Dos (He’s a Don Francisco imitator) has nothing good to say about Argentina. They think they’re better than everyone else. They’re wannabe Europeans. In their defense, there are quite a few Nazis down there so they can claim Europe or the Sudetenland at the very least. They do try their hardest to emulate Europe whether it be the constant protesting of the French or not-so subtle anti-Semitism of the whole continent. Sometimes they anticipate trends like the Spanish commitment to racism.

The four ladies above posing with the slanty eyes are members of the Argentina women’s Olympic soccer team. The picture was used in a sports paper to accompany a preview of their first Olympic match. It was taken about a week before the infamous Spanish basketball and tennis pictures.

The Argentines haven’t gotten any beef for the pictures yet. Maybe the Spanish took most of the heat especially after their refusal to understand why the poses were so racist. Former Spanish national soccer team manager Luis Aragones heard about the pictures and called with a message for Argentina. “Tell those amarillas de mierda [yellow shits] that you are much better than them. Don’t hold back, tell them. Tell them from me. You have to believe in yourself, you’re better than those amarillas de mierda!” They lost all their games including their last one against China 2-0.

Tiki Barber is really doing some innovative things with his gig at NBC. Watch the former all pro footballer suck up a lot of pride and allow himself to be picked up and carried over the shoulder of Rulon Gardner, the giant Olympic wrestling gold medalist, while covering the Olympics over in Beijing. If you look carefully you can actually see some of his pride and ego escaping him. He knows he’s a hack. Also, you gotta love the sweat stains on Rulon as well. That man would sweat while pouring cereal.

Blake Aldridge Is Like School On A Saturday


Really? Synchronized diving? What won’t they let into the Olympics? Baseball and softball should feel terrible about being kicked out while synchronized diving and rhythmic gymnastics stick around. I can’t wait for donkey jousting. Hopefully synchronized divers aren’t all whiny bitches like English diver Blake Aldridge.

Aldridge wasted no time in throwing his partner Tom Daley under the bus after the duo finished last in the competition.

“I didn’t blow anything, so I can go home happy,” said Aldridge.

“Unfortunately it’s a partnership, you both have to be on the top of your game. I wasn’t on top of my game but Tom was nowhere near the top of his.”

The pair were in third after the first dive but quickly dropped after several mistakes. There was also a “spat” between them between the 4th and 5th dives because Aldridge was on the phone with his mother. Daley asked him, “Why are you on the phone? We’re still in the competition and we’ve got another dive to do.”

“That’s just Thomas - he’s over-nervous. Thomas should not be worrying about what I’m doing but he was worrying about everyone and everything and that to me is really the sole reason why he didn’t perform.”

Daley took the high road and admitted being nervous. He said they both had a bad day and didn’t do as well as they would have liked.

Here’s the kicker. Aldridge is 26 and Daley is 14. Who sounds more mature and level-headed? Throwing a 14 year old under the bus for legitimately taking you to task? Stay classy, Blake.

China Has The Look Of A Paper Champion


Did you watching the opening ceremonies? Did you know that every time you ooh’ed and aah’ed, a minority was beat up somewhere in China? Expect big things out of the Chinese in synchronized monk beating.

You weren’t the only one impressed by the scale of the opening ceremonies. The media called it the greatest opening ceremony ever. One problem. It was fake. Those giant footprints in the sky? CGI “meticulously created over a period of months and inserted into the coverage electronically at exactly the right moment”.

Gao Xiaolong, head of the visual effects team for the ceremony, said it had taken almost a year to create the 55-second sequence. Meticulous efforts were made to ensure the sequence was as unnoticeable as possible: they sought advice from the Beijing meteorological office as to how to recreate the hazy effects of Beijing’s smog at night, and inserted a slight camera shake effect to simulate the idea that it was filmed from a helicopter.

“Seeing how it worked out, it was still a bit too bright compared to the actual fireworks,” he said. “But most of the audience thought it was filmed live - so that was mission accomplished.”

Gotcha, roundeye.
