olympicotting... let's get it started (ah-ha)

been thinking about this one for a while. in lieu of the farce that the torch ceremony has become--a real microcosm of this entire chinese olympic joke--we at Girthy are boycotting this year's summer olympics.

much more to come, with links, rationale, and impassioned/batshit diatribes, but this o-cott will include:

• not watching the sham coverage that is slated to air live in EST, so the athletes can tee it up at 11pm china-time, or whatever
• not buying the products of the shitass corpo-whore sponsors
• not listening to my collection of jon tesh discs, tapes and vinyls

on the plus side, there's no women's curling--we couldn't 'cott that shit.

oh, it's so awn...

been a while, but we get caught in the gears of the machine more than most. hey--we're batshit, after all. speaking of which, look at what motivates us out of hibernation: The Top 10 Reasons to Cover the Women’s Final Four
by Harvey Araton of the Times.

'nuff said. that's motivating enough to start tearing up teh interwebz, all over again.

p.s. no, it's not because he misses the days of peach-bucket bingo and no dribbling, jumping, or overtly athletic movements. and if you think there's any of that, legitimately, in the women's game, then--no offense--you're just a fucking idiot.

p.p.s. happy birthday, bitches!
