In response to "they're getting one." by the liioulu with tu dors

Yes, it's definitely a bit of a screwup. Add it to the list.

- Luge death
- Torch strut hydraulic failure
- Lack of snow, resulting in ticket cancellations
- Weather, resulting in delays
- Ice sabotage (today's discussion, I guess, but also an ongoing issue)
- Stupid, Violent protesters with no real message except "WE WANNA BREAK SHIT AND GET ON CAMERA DOING IT"
- HBC's cash-or-visa-only policy for 2010 merch (and all the extreme brand protectionism that comes along with sponsorships)
- Security going overbudget
- Biathlon timing debacle (technically not VANOC's fault, thankfully. Blame the Swiss.)
- CTV apparently being very confusing with choosing what to show the viewers (cutting away from medal events to show qualifier reruns from other sports)

... etc

Responses:

Swiss timing was off? -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:10 1
- Yes. An official IBU representative screwed up the order in which some competitors left the gate, and also when (a handful of failures) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:10
