Bad News Canadians

A number of players, including 18-year-old superstar Marie-Philip Poulin, were drinking alcohol on the ice following the team's 2-0 defeat of the United States. (The legal drinking age in British Columbia is 19.)

And in related news: you can take your apology and your trophy and shove it straight up your ass!

In other related news: Canada's olympic athletes are not that hot. Seriously, the 43 year old curler is in the top 10? No wonder they drink so much up there.

UPDATE: A post from the previously linked blog compares the hotness of US skier to Canadian skier and the dood fucks it up. Though the Canadian is not bad at all.

Ping Pong Sluts (TM Drisnastic):“We are trying to push the players to use skirts and also nicer shirts, not the shirts that are made for men, but ones with more curves,” International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) vice president Claude Bergeret said.

And then there's the whole anti-religion thing: Those Christians who want to avoid the state-controlled religious movements meet in unofficial buildings or even each others' homes - hence their description as "house churches" - risking fines, imprisonment, torture and even, in some cases, death.

And you can't forget the creepy treatment of Houston Rocket, Chinese-born Yao Ming: The Chinese government had monitored his birth because of the perfect physical and athletic genes of his parents, forever treating him as something of a science project.

There's plenty of other reasons, some noted before, and others that haven't been noted on this, the greatest of blogs.

Badass Parisian Cops

The Olympic Torch had to be extinguished due to protesters in Paris regardless of police support: Closest to the torchbearer would be the Chinese torch escorts, with Paris police on rollerblades moving around them.

In related news, Paris got a new police commissioner as pictured below:
