- I love Germanymorilla
- Germany is awesome in the winter olympics. Also, I can't believe you posted all of this in the thread.Jaline
- Only 2 of those girls are actually attractive. I don't want to ruin the fun, but I'm guessing they lost some fans with this shoot.Jaline
- Ha Haa nice!dbloc
- But they gained some too...haha.
I remember when Canadians and Swedes were nominated as best-looking by teammates.Jaline - (for the winter olympics, not summer). I guess Germany wins for Summer.Jaline
- Sorry, I'm picky and over-think things. Just ignore my notes...Jaline
- if you think that only 2 of these girls are attractive your nuts.

The replay review in gymnastics is such bullshit.
- what happened?Jaline
- nothing. They are just annoying me. Every damn routine is scrutinized. It is silly and a waste of timeflashbender
- agreed they pick at every little thing when someone has a great routine.404
- Agreed, it changes the whole dynamic of the sport. Like if baseball had no umpires on the field...ismith
- Don't they need to do that?Jaline
- Just turn down the volume then. I know it's annoying, but I guess that's what they are there to do. The Canadian ones aren't bad.Jaline
- I'm talking about the replays that the judges are doing that stops the competition. Not the TV peopleflashbender
- I do hate the replays, but I like the analysis. I see so many things I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.Jaline

Anybody see the piece NBC did on the chinaman who created the 2008 olympic logo? The artist was pretty cool and seemed to have a rough life.
According to their official site, it means:The official emblem of Beijing 2008 entitled "Chinese Seal-Dancing Beijing" cleverly combines the Chinese seal and the art of calligraphy with sporting features, transforming the elements into a human figure running forward and embracing triumph. The figure resembles the Chinese character "Jing", which stands for the name of the host city and represents a particularly significant Chinese style. The artwork embodies four messages:
* - Chinese culture,
* - the color of red China
* - Beijing welcomes friends from all over the world
* - to challenge the extreme and achieve the perfect and promote the Olympic motto of "Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger).
