the onion and the olympics

The Olympic games are always a source of global fascination, be it for the exceptional athletic performances, performance-enhancing drug scandals, and now those new tests to determine if athletes are actually male or female. I tell you, that’s what I’m looking forward to this summer. Still, there is the variable that this summer’s games are being held in CHINA, and perhaps it’s just the terror-mongering media in the US, but it seems stories I come across are fraught with fear over these games with either China or anti-China groups showing up to cause trouble. In times like these, I turn to a trusted news source, the Onion. Not surprisingly, they’ve got the beat on the Beijing Olympic games:

911 sandwich story


I love that Subway was involved in this incident, because as many know, I hate them dearly and have an ongoing boycott of said sub shop (going on 3 years now!) due to a little food poisoning acquired at one of their fine eating establishments. Wash your g’damn hands! Oh, and I once described their “seafood sensation” item as looking like a bucket of vomit that was stirred with a dirty log, for which I’m very proud.
