If you needed ANOTHER reason not to watch the Beijing Olympics

[phillysrt4]

If the fact that:

1) pros are allowed to compete in the olympics
2) its commercialized as hell
3) its in China when they have no business hosting it due to human rights violations

isn't enough, check out how the IOC stoops to a new level of retardedness:

I give up. I havent bothered watching the olympics with any seriousness since Barcelona, and I probably wont start now.

I stopped watching most televised sports. Way too comercialized. That and the 'reverse' lifts in figure skating scare me.
