Korean Flag Crisis

Oh, fucking dear.

What a woeful start.

Some GCSE-educated dickbrain doesn't know the difference between the flags for North and South Korea.

We could have had a full-blown diplomatic crisis on our hands before the Olympic ceremony.

Brings into question why some of the events start before the opening ceremony, and why some are being held in a different country to the host city. I'm all for sharing the wealth and good times a little, but this is generosity gone too far. (About 400 miles too far north.)

And it doesn't bode well for the rest of the tournament if we can get something as basic and important as flags so badly wrong. What next, Borat's version of the Kazakhstani anthem being played at a medal ceremony?

Koreans, on behalf of Brits with a modicum of intelligence, I'd like to apologise.

The Problem With Football At The Olympics

Sooo, the London 2012 Olympic events kick off today, two days before the opening ceremony, with football. In Wales, which I believe is a bit of a trek from London (actually, I know it is).
And there's very little fanfare accompanying the kick off. Which sums up the problem with football at the Olympics: NO ONE GIVES A FLYING / DIVING / SHIRT PULLING FUCK.
Everyone knows who won the last World Cup or the last two Euros, Spain, Spain, Spain. But few know who won the footie at the last Olympics. Spain, was it? Brazil probably.
Small wonder we're struggling to give tickets to games away.
My advice, kick out the football from the next Olympics and replace it with darts. Being the first ever Darts Olympic Champion is something a LOT of people will give a shit about.
