They just gave Bolt the baton back. Good.

Wow the top 3 divers are separated by .15 points with 1 dive to go! I'm not one to call controversy, but the crowd does seem to influence the judges score for their home favorite Daley.

Give me a fucking break. If anything judges have gone out of their way to show they're not bias to the home crowd this Olympics.
 
Gotta love the Mexican guy cussing at the Diving, haha.

He went all out for that final dive, but it was too hard for him.
 
he got it back! :D The BBC athletics stream showed it, Bolt tried to take it as a souvenir but some judge said 'no, you cant keep it, we need it" and the whole stadium booed. Thankfully they reconsidered and gave it back to him (with a cheering crowd).
Good.

What would the judge/the IOC need the baton for? Surely they have spares. Pfft. "Don't take away my memorabilia! I can put it up on eBay for money and you'll just put it in your room or your museum which doesn't make money (for me). D:"

Lol, this is the first time I see someone saying this. It's always the opposite what's said.
Really? I don't post much on OT side, but that's mostly because I usually see stuff that's disappointing or rage-inducing. :/

Gaming side seems okay outside of the few silly things here and there. Though it was a bit ridiculous after E3.

Does any other Canadians feel that those War of 1812 commercials are really fucking weird?
I'm all for them trying to commemorate its 200-year anniversary somehow, but airing them right after sporting events is kind of weird.
 
Yes. Seems a bit out of place.

Ya its like trying to help fan some nationalistic pride during the Olympics despite the fact that we weren't really Canada back then. Hard to imagine this would be done by any other government but the Harper one.
 
Dat 4x100 final. Blake started Jamaican's run to the history, then Bolt...wow. And the last exchange was not so good. And Powell wasn't there. I mean, Jamaica can do even better than 36.85. Truly scary.

Exactly, it makes no sense. Its our history but its not something to be used during the olympics to rustle up some pride..lol.
