To a certain TV station whose idea of a good slogan for the winter Olympic games is “Do you believe?” Fuck you. Every time I see one of those commcerials it makes me want to tear out my endocrine system and simultaneously beat the butt-beef out of every member on your board who ‘committee voted’ this dumbass catch phrase in.

….and a better catch phrase would be?
“It’s the Olympics, bitch!”
They should call it ‘Oh, Fuck, It’s the Goddamn Olympics – Change The Channel’ Games.
I not only don’t believe, I care as much as spit on a hot skillet.
Ugh, I know. Believe in what? That Bode Miller is going to stick his head up his ass halfway through a heat? That Apollo Anton Ono is going to make everyone wish they were murdered by their grandmothers? I’ll take my Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup instead, motherfuckers.
The olympics are a big fat waste of money.
I don’t agree. That’s like saying throwing dinner parties and inviting the neighbors is a big fat waste of money. There’s much to be gained in the way of international unity by a nation’s heartfelt participation.
How about “Capture The Dream” as
an Olympic slogan?
Hello…..that’s genius.
The only gold medallions I want to see better have chocolate inside.
its all about the advertising buck but ya gotta root for the countries that send one or two people
Thanks, I borrowed that one. I have
to be honest about it. But, it’s more
inspiring than just “Do you believe?”
It’s a reference to Canada not having won a gold medal in our own country, like a positive thinking thing. Believe we can do it this time, yadda yadda.
“I believe” that ski bunnies from sweeden will be on my 50″ plasma this olympics.
I hate the Olympics with a passion. I hate massive sporting events in general. No offense to all the athletic types out there, you guys are HOT. But I really don’t give a shit if you can swim faster than some other guy.
My goldfish can swim faster than all of your asses.
I hate the Olympics
I know you do Jane.
I heard from someone that Marilyn Manson is morally opposed to most sports because they promote violence. I thought, psssshhhh, whatever. And then the hockey game came on…
the only people making any sort of “gain” from the 2010 olympics are land owners in Van city who had properties bought before the announcement (or slightly afterwards)…cause those mofos are making a MINT in higher property values.
