Yeah...is the Serbian V pronounced like the German V?

I really hope it's pronounced Fucko.

I know it's Fox News, but some of the stories and pictures are awesome

I don't think even China was that intrusive!

Wow, NBC is embargoing events (even though I expected some events to be embargoed).

Tried to watch qualifying for an event on NBCOlympics.com (live) on Thursday morning. It's mogul skiing for gosh sakes (j/k).

Deadspin has some great articles up on the fails from Sochi, and of course the comments are gold medal winners as well. Take this one, for example, a shortage of pillows.

There is only one commercial on the live stream played every few minutes (or so).

Hope everyone enjoys Special K hot cereal.

So first I run across this story (I don't care if its true or not, its hilarious), and then this tweet.

I guess it's for the hookers or the people soliciting the hookers?

Always look forward to seeing if the projections from Infostrada will be close. Probably a safe bet on Norway winning the most.

Russian billionaire trying to save the dogs of Sochi. I'm sure the dog catcher can be bought pretty easily.

Awesome. Knowing the Shitter Police was watching, I'd be doing all kinds of weird stuff in there...

If the Sochi Olympics don't end like the Simpsons predicted - I'm going to be pretty disappointed :(

 

[Dee-Liem]

Whoops (I wonder if NBC will show it, since it's tape delayed).

I think Ikea has its new best-seller for next holiday season. Thank gosh Sochi didn't get the summer games (w/ basketball players).
