2. Federer's match against Blake. I don't want to talk about it; I'm still kind of in shock. However, as someone said in much more succinct words; he's Roger Fucking Federer. He'll be fine.
3. Male swimmers and male divers, oh gods, male water sports contestants.
4. The whole brouhaha over the little girl who lip-synched. I’m confused by the outrage, I’m more confused about the Milli Vanilli comparison because dude, no one in Asia cares nor even understands the comparison. Also, as far as I understood it the coordinators for that part admitted on National television that the little girl lip-synched. I’m just really confused by people who keep on harping about it. The Opening Ceremony is a performance, something that should look good so of course they would choose the cuter girl. Please explain to me about the outrage, or is this going to end being a cultural difference thing again.
5. The gymnastics age thing; see, this outrage I can understand. I’m really quite concerned about the girls’ physical health than anything else. However, people really should shut the fuck up about their performance. The girls out-performed the other teams, accept it, and move onto the fact that really matters; their physical health and whether China should be fined/punished/whatever for the lying about their age.
6. I’m REALLY enjoying the Olympics (barring the Tennis because that’s fucking heart-breaking. So, Nadal, GO and WIN this!)
