Silly games

It seemed that Australia during the Commonwealth Games turned communist – every time I turned on the TV the national anthem was playing. It was like North Korea without the weapons, and fancy goose-stepping. But that Aussie bloke who won the walking competitions looked just as silly. Walking - what a crap event. If people want to walk fast, they should run. Oh, but they have to keep both feet on the ground, don’t they? What a skill. What’s the point in putting such restrictions on an event? It’s like having a long jump competition where everyone has to wear a backpack to slow them down.
And now it’s Grand Prix weekend where fast cars and overweight mechanics cruise around my neighbourhood making far too much noise. And there are helicopters. Why can’t they use a camera on a stick? Why is a camera shot of a car moving down a road more valued than my peace?
Maybe they should have a Grand Prix event with the restriction that you have to go as slow as possible. But with Mark Webber racing we would probably have to listen to Advance Australia Fair yet again.
