Corporate Saturation

Let's cut the BS. I'm sick of all the sponsorship bombardment. Tim Hortons, Rona, Buick, Visa...none of you corporate suits give a damn about the Olympics. Its all about money. I keep seeing your asinine commercials and I want them to surcease. It seems like the Olympics are mainly about money. Not about sport.

Canada also has not met expectations thus far. Having won 24 medals in Torino they have only won 6 thus far; placing them in 4th overall. What happened to the "own the podium" initiative? Right now, the U.S. is just dominating with 14 medals. Even our friend Colbert paid a visit to rub it in Canada's face! Shaun White kicked ass and took names on the board and Davis tore it up on the Oval. Let's just hope Team Canada (hockey) brings home the Gold. I think their outcome at these games will make or break the "Canadian experience" this year. Canada faces off against their U.S. rivals this Sunday!
