Really?

I admit it, I have Olympic fever. It's just so exciting to see all the different competitions and see the athletes get so pumped up. It is one of the times when I am actually proud of my country. So, it follows that I have jumped on the Michael Phelps bandwagon. Not because he is an amazing swimmer and sets world records without even really trying, but mostly because well, did you see him screaming after they won the 4x400 relay? That guy has some spirit.

So, of course, I really want him to get 8 gold medals and set a record. And after reading this, I want him to do it even more. Uh yeah, mark Spitz, I don't feel bad that the IOC didn't invite you, I just think you look like a Bilbo Douchebaggins. Novel concept here: if you wanted to go to the Olympics, then why didn't you just go? Stop being such a big baby. You just wanted a free ride to see fireworks and be on TV. The reason that you weren't invited can be found at the website www.nobodycaresaboutyouanymore.com. Say it with me: "It's not all about you." You are old, washed up and a bad sport. You don't see Mary Lou Retton bitching about "not being invited". It's not a bat mitzvah, it's a sporting event. If you want to attend, there are these things called tickets that you can purchase. You know, since you're famous and all (insert insane laughter here), you should be able to afford them.
