i didn't see all the programs but from the ones i did, Johnny Wier was better than 6th place - poochinski Feb 17, 07:50 1
- I thought the entire Men's SP was scored pretty fairly - unlike the Pairs' SP. - Diva Feb 17, 07:54
Amazon heard mandy's pleading for an mp3 deal, and since she asked nice, they even made it a "recommended if you like Passion Pit" one. -- (link) - TFox Feb 17, 07:50 1
- Huh. I was perusing their "Under $4" list and saw that but thought it wasn an EP or something. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:53
Yikes! Hope Pippy is ok. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:42 5
- I tore dat ass up and then voted her off the island. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 07:50
- what's happening? -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 07:45 3
  - Link to Twitter -- (link) - mara Feb 17, 07:46 2
    - If she has tweeted about it, and then tweeted about her Top 5 five minutes later, I'm sure she's OK -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 07:49 1
      - She's on the side of the road, lonely and horny! She's not ok! - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:50

- 8/10 -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 07:44
Tv tonight: last week's Supernatural is about it for me...probably some Olympics -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 07:39 1
- Final episode of Material Girl (it's my trashy guilty pleasure), Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy and Eleventh Hour. -- nm - LMS Feb 17, 07:43
[deleted] 26
- And then have all that shit available to download on iTunes, with proceeds going to the US Olympic team or something. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 07:39
- agreeance. I really miss that. - Diva Feb 17, 07:32 22
  - [deleted] 21
    - What really bugs me is that there aren't more "first down line -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:35 19
      - " type enhancements to the broadcast. Like, for example, in long track speed skating, they added the pace line of where the leader was.... - TFox Feb 17, 07:37 18
        
        I did see that a couple of times in the downhill. I think they`re through the shot so fast that it`s tough to maintain. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:42 10
        
        Yeah, it's not like swimming where there's one camera panning right-to-left and back again. There are probably dozens of cameras on a downhill run. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 07:49
        
        I wish they'd put a camera on a zipline or something and follow them down the mountain, with a ghost skier representing the leader on camera. - TFox Feb 17, 07:46 8
        
        They showed a ghost race for the men's downhill (CTV) of the gold and silver dudes. It was pretty sweet to see how differently they took turns, etc. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 07:48 7
        
        oh, that's awesome. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:50
        
        Yup, I love the ghost race. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 07:50
        
        They also did this for luge. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:50
        
        They've had that here too. They just don't have the ability to do it live. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 07:50 1
        
        Aye, it would take a lot and might even make the race too distracting. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 07:51
        
        Ah, I haven't seen that yet then, I guess. Hopefully it's on my Tivo. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:49 1
        
        That was on Monday at some point. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 07:50
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Yeah, they did it in the swimming, but I wonder if that's more that they had line of sight laser locations - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:42 2
        
        They've been doing overhead shots for snowboarding. I imagine the sheer speed of the downhill races is a problem. - Ender Feb 17, 07:45
        
        That may be the problem. But you could put a tracker on the skiers themselves so friggin easily... -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:45
        
        Why would they innovate? NBC has locked up rights for like 15 years+. Hell, they won rights well before anyone else was even thinking of bidding on - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:41 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Something absurd like that. You'd think given how much they spent; they'd listen when things are brought up repeatedly - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:44
    - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:34
- me too! -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:31
- CTV was doing this -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 07:31
Saying somebody was fired for "personnel reasons" is kind of redundant, isn't it? All hiring and firing is done for personnel reasons. -- (link) - mara Feb 17, 07:28 3
- internal politics. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:30 1
  - and if she can't discuss it for "legal reasons", that means she's starting a lawsuit. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:31
- sounds sexual to me, boss. -- nm - Max Feb 17, 07:29
cover story: "Joe Mauer to test staying power" (I bet RC would help him with that) -- nm - Guy Feb 17, 07:24
Pelican attacks weather presenter on live television -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 07:19 1
- Look down about 10 posts. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:21
The New Jersey Nets beat the Charlotte Bobcats for the 2nd time this season last night. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:16 6
- It's the NBA where maybe 6 teams try to win and the rest try to fleece their fans -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 07:36 1
  - and sign players to implausibly insane contracts -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 07:36
- Charlotte has an NBA team? huh. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:28
- Seriously? - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 07:18 2
  - Yeah, they were created after the Hornets left town. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:21
  - yep, and Michael Jordan is trying to buy them. -- nm - decline Feb 17, 07:19
Redbox also gets into bed with Warner Bros on 28-day delay: -- (link) - prayformojo Feb 17, 07:14
TV catch up: does anyone watch Tosh.0 on Comedy Central? This last one where Apple sent him an iPad was great -- nm - sycor Feb 17, 07:13 2
- It's funny when I catch it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 07:19
- Yes, although last season seemed to be much funnier than this one so far. - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:17
Whoa, Hoarders this week is insane, even for Hoarders. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:03
It's a sad state of affairs when the only film at my local multiplex that I mildly want to see is Solomon Kane. - LMS Feb 17, 06:47
For the low low price of $51, you too can receive the 4 X-Men movies on Blu-Ray - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:45
Sarah Palin didn't find Family Guy particularly funny -- (link) - LMS Feb 17, 06:40 29
- Was this a recent episode, or one from like a year ago? - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:42 1
  - my tivo recorded it as new this week or last week - Max Feb 17, 07:49
- that ranks in maybe the top 100 most offensive things Family Guy has done...if that. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 07:35
- Family Guy stuff. -- nm - Sarah Palin's hand Feb 17, 07:16
- I'm more surprised that she'd actually watch it... -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 07:12 1
  - doub't she did actually -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 07:16
- and thanks to Palin more people now want to see that episode given she made it a controversy - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 07:02
- These people (Palins, Glenn Becks, etc.) are the whiniest bunch of cry babies *ever*. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 06:44 18
  - On this particular issue, were people making fun of my mentally handicapped child, my vitriol would know no bounds. - TFox Feb 17, 06:49 14
    - But wait a second, TFox, it's satire! I believe I heard from someone with a name like "Farrah Malin" that that was OK. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:08 6
      - honestly, I hate the chick, but just because she's a hypocritical idiot doesn't make it ok. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:13 5
        
        It also means I don't have to take her complaints seriously. But more to the point - would someone care to explain the insult? - Reagen Feb 17, 07:19 4
        
        I saw the episode and it's immediately apparent that it's not a mocking joke, but a message that handicapped people don't have to be treated coddled - Max Feb 17, 07:29 1
        
        oh hell. she really is a useless whiner. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:33
        
        Probably the kid talking is talking with a down syndrome ...um...lisp? - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:22 1
        
        The character literally had down syndrome. She was also quite a jerk. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 07:31
    - It sounds like it was a jab at her and not the kid. - Fuzzy Feb 17, 07:03 1
      - That's how I perceived it too, but I haven't seen the episode either. -- nm - LMS Feb 17, 07:17
    - Sure, if she's consistent about it. But she doesn't care if Glen Beck uses it. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 06:56 1
      - This is true. I read a good opinion piece about this and forgot about it when I commented. You're absolutely right. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:27
    - Hers doesn't either - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:56 2
      - *makes SATIRICAL retard jokes with impunity* -- nm - Rush Feb 17, 07:17 1
        
        It took you guys 9 minutes to do that though, and it could have been done in 3:30. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:51
  - They have to be, because their audience wants to become more and more outraged. There's no incentive for anyone to break that cycle. -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 06:48
  - There's some delicious irony in their professional victimhood - TWuG Feb 17, 06:47 1
    - [deleted]
- Family Guy not being funny may be the first issue which I agree with her. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 06:42 1
  - Word. I've never found it funny. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 07:42
- She should run on this platform -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 06:41
after watching some US men's curling, I have come to the conclusion that our skip sort of just plain sucks...nm - x Feb 17, 06:40 5
- same with the women's skip. so many blown chances in the Japan match. -- nm - Guy Feb 17, 07:26
- They miss Fenson. - Callisto Feb 17, 07:25 1
  - He was awesome. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 07:31
- I said this in the middle of their first match. dude is worthless -- nm - CQ Feb 17, 06:43 1
  - with a couple decent shots from him they might have swiped the Germany match. Germans weren't that sharp... - x Feb 17, 06:47
So far this morning, i have tried to pry a wall plate with a can opener and remove a screw with nail clippers. - ty97 Feb 17, 06:34 5
- *tosses you a swiss army knife* -- nm - MacGyver Feb 17, 06:50 1
  - ~TyGruber! Prying a wall plate usin' nothing but a fingernail. TyGruber!...~ -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 07:50
- Nail clippers? That's just crazy... - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 06:39 2
  - or a dime. - Andie Feb 17, 06:40 1
