What I can't comprehend, is how the olympic committee felt comfortable placing the highest esteemed athletic competition in a place where it's hard to breathe when tying your shoe?
I'm going with a fresh pair of Nikes and matching gas mask. It seems that dead bodies... Fish bodies are turning up in Beijing, leading up to the... more
