The Olympics!

Figure skating soap operas, terrible costumes, dull music. I like Sasha Cohen, and think Michelle Kwan won't win because she's trying too hard. I won't miss Sarah Hughes if she's not skating.

Bobsledding, "luge", other dangerous sports involving frozen water and sharp blades (note: Dr. Evil alluded to his "luge lessons" as a child growing up in Belgium along with some other unmentionable activities in "Austin Powers"). Extreme skiing, jumping off incredibly high cliffs, Bode Miller (remember Alberto Tomba?), big egos, touching life stories of triumph over adversity.

Too many commercials, not enough time to watch all the fun stuff. Curling does not qualify as "fun stuff", in my opinion; what on earth are they doing up there in Canada, anyway?

Speed skating and short track speed skating, which looks like a spoof of The Three Stooges.

Half-pipe snowboarding, the sport with the stupidest terms and most marijuana: "McTwist?" Huh? How stoned was that person when they came up with that quasi-California surfer dude lingo?

Cross country skiing. Snore. Downhill skiing. Broken bones and crashes; hundredths of seconds.
