Olympics 2012

Wow, I can't believe they didn't let South Korea's fencer advance?? Unreal. What a terrible call by the officials.

Also, for those of you who'd like to watch the olympics live and not be screwed over by NBC and Comcast, gizmodo has some nice tricks.

I personally prefer watching on BBC or PTV; heck anything other than the ____ty coverage by NBC.

I love the Olympics myself. I love sports... and love that the entire world gets together. It's so much fun. Plus, I love all the ladies in the skin baring outfits.... mmmmm Beach Volleyball. Swimming...

Just imagine the cheese wire g strings that'll get worn at the next Olympics in Rio Brazil !

You know I was at the hairdresser yesterday and there was an English woman there who actually believed that The Queen had skydived out of that helicopter LOL She was absolutely dead serious, I cannot believe how stupid some people are.

On another note a teenage boy was arrested by police in England for tweeting to British Athlete Daly that his performance had let his father down. Daly's father died of cancer. Serves the little piece of crap right, I can't get over what people tweet, it's just not right.

Arrested for what? It wasn't even a threat. A total ____ comment but not a threat.

I know. if he said 'you let your family down' would he have been arrested? yeah his dads dead. Yep it wasnt very nice, but we cant have the nice police arresting everyone. Soon, unless your being positive and nice free speech will be removed.

Daley did actually let the country, himself and the family down. lets not lie, they had a solid medal and they fudged it royally. They let the country, themselves and their families down like quite a few of our athletes have. He isnt wrong which is why its ludicrous he is arrested. Then again rapists get 3 years maximum most of the time, murderers get 15 years and Peadophiles get 6 months. Go figure.

Targeting 48 medals in this olympics? Yeah anymore bullcrap to come from the comittee? Stunning performance from our Womens pairs rowing. Gold medal, thoroughly deserved and a true credit to Team GB and I hope the men do the same, they are more than capable.

We're 14th with 6 medals at our own olympics and to be frank, were pretty much bombing downwards.

Ah well it was a threat actually because after the "let your dad down" message he tweeted this:

ЯIᄂΣY JЦПIӨЯ @Rileyy_69
“@tomdaley1994 i’m going to find you and i’m going to drown you in the pool you cocky t*** your a nobody people like you make me sick”

That's a death threat. If you sent that to someone in the mail, you would be arrested and therefore that is why the police have brought him in for questioning. An empty threat yes, but legally you cannot do it.

And then this one:

ЯIᄂΣY JЦПIӨЯ
@Rileyy_69 @_OllyRiley i dont give a ____ bruv i'm gonna drown him and i'm gonna shoot you he failed why you suporting him you ____

And this one to Sky news:

ЯIᄂΣY JЦПIӨЯ
@Rileyy_69 @SkyNews you ____ing report me on the news again i'll have you done for harrassment and a lawsuit you get me final chance you ____s

They guy kept digging a bigger hole for himself.
