Morning hippy.
Nice to see some anti Eastern European bias this time in the morning.

What's the Tampon ad? Something about running and legs? Seriously, the Olympics are wank; it's costing us billions, for some upper-class twits to pretend they're still at school sports day. I'm surprised there's not an egg and spoon race, or a Spacehopper race.

This isn't an answer btw.

The same ad break managed to make babies shitting and pissing themselves Olympic-related.
I'm too depressed to get very angry, it's so pathetic.

Don't be ridiculous, there is nothing to suggest athletes are upper class
I mean, most of them are black

From where BP is sitting everyone looks upper class.

I'm just generalising.
Still think most are twats though.

Some would claim that he can only run fast as he's a sooty that got used to sprinting away from the police from an early age.
Not me though. I'd never claim that.

That is the worst insult I have ever been given.

If you want a good laugh
find a tofu-wearing hand-wringer and ask them whether they think that being of Afro or Afro-caribbean origin coveys a genetic advantage upon sprinters. Places them in a terrible ethical dilemma and then they tend to explode in a shower of artisan bio yoghurt and spelt.

But genetics is the racist.
All good Guardian readers know that.

I read the Guardian.
genetics is more species-ist really, though.

There was a really good programme on a week or so about this
Michael Johnson was on it, tracing his ancestry etc.
Gist was that packing hundreds of slaves into a boat, losing 90% of them on the way, meant that only the very toughest survived and bred, producing later some great athletes.
Was a rather unsettling watch.
