Twitter and FB.

Never has so much grief been caused. Off the cuff comments that echo around the world.

Never have so many people found a place to have a voice... with which to potentially hang themselves.

I never said it was wrong - I'm of the opinion that people should be allowed to thank whoever or whatever they choose to. It's the IOC that said it was wrong - and only because it might eat their lunch down the road.

But is it okay for athletes to thank their sponsors when their sponsor is a government?

How is that not clear?

Let me further define it since you feel like being obtuse - people should be able to can thank whomever/whatever they want; their parents, Coca-Cola, Big Macs, Wal-Mart, Stephen Harper, the Cookie Monster, Jesus, Buddha, President Obama, Hello Kitty, etc.

No. Not Hello Kitty. That shit creeps me the fuck out.

Screw the IOC, they would fit in well at Mos Eisley.

The whole Olympic are a crooked deal.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

We must be cautious.
