Are you watching? If so what are the events that you prefer to watch? And are you watching events that you normally didn't watch?
To me Friday nights opening events were kind of cheesy and not that spectacular.
I think I could do the syncronized diving. The hard part would be to find someone who looks like me.
I'd love to watch cycling events but can't seem to figure out when they are televised, even after I downloaded the NBC olympic app. We watched swimming and gymnastics last night which I've followed since my girls were both in gymnastics. I will watch some track and field, but no particular interest one way or the other for it.

I about couldn't get my wife calmed down after last nights gymnastics debacle. She was a gymnast growing up so she gets pretty into it.
Did anyone else think that the whole Health Services bit in the opening was kind of unusual? Like propaganda-ish?

Not really. If I see a spot on the news or something, I don't change the channel but neither do I intentionally watch. I want our guys to win but don't care to spend the time watching.
XXX Olympics? Doesn't XXX imply hard core porn? I keep watching the games, but I don't see no nudity at all.

You need the special eyeglasses. ;D
Results of a study over the weekend indicated NBC favored telecasting events with scantly clad women.
Explains all the Obama Ads. RMoney crowd don't watch the same events. ;)

Not everything is about us. You may not believe this, but most Britons are not happy about the prospect of the NHS going away. They actually like their system and think it's existence communicates something positive about what sort of people they are.
Swimmer Missy Franklin is a great story.
