I just saw this video on Reddit of a guy who sees an Olympic torch and sees not a symbol of international cooperation and competition but a lighter for his cigarette. Next time he should do what other people do and use an AK-47, here.

Somebody drug test this man. U.S. snowboarder Graham Watanabe was asked what it was like to compete in his second Winter Olympics. He responded it was like “Pegasus mating with a unicorn and the creature that they birth I somehow tame it and ride it to the sky and clouds and sunshine and rainbows.”
U.S. figure skater Johnny Weir is the subject of an international outcry over his insistence on wearing real animal fur in his figure skating outfit — despite his prior promise to yield to demands that he use faux fur.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney came out this weekend in an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl to proclaim “I was a big supporter of waterboarding.” It is an astonishing public admission since waterboarding is not just illegal but a war crime. It is akin to the Vice President saying that he supported bank robbery or murder-for-hire as a public policy.

With the start of the Winter Olympics, one new accessory is being marketed by Kodiak Technology Group CEO Daniel Field to raise money for both the U.S. Curling Association and Monterey County AIDS Prevention. Now you can buy “Hurry Hard” condoms — named after the encouraging call of curling teams to sweep faster. Even more remarkable is a story revealing that 100,000 condoms have been supplied to athletes at the 2010 games — under any standard that would be an Olympic performance.

Police in New Zealand have an interesting necessity defense to deal with in a theft case. Bronson Stewart’s puppy, Buck, was hit by a car and neither Stewart, 19, or his father could afford the money to pin the puppy’s broken leg back together or the lower price to have the leg mputated. While the family (which is on welfare) offered to pay $3.50 a week, the vet declined and said that it was best to euthanize Buck because he was in agony. That is when Stewart took matters into his own hands.

The Obama Administration has taken the rare step of criticizing a British court. Why? Because the court released a few paragraphs of a report that confirmed our abuse and torture of detainees. Spokesman Ben LaBolt denounced the release of the information and threatened to cut off access of the British to classified information in the future. Note these paragraphs do not appear to reveal any new classified technique, but rather confirm our violations of international law — evidence that the Obama Administration has been refusing to release.

In Dubai, an Arab ambassador was given an annulment by a Sharia court from a woman who he claims used a niqab to hide her crossed eyes and facial hair. He claims to have only met the woman a few times before their marriage and she always wore a veil. He accused her mother of showing him a picture of her sister to induce the marriage. He also asked, as an alternative if the divorce was not granted, that the court to order her to undergo hormonal treatments for her “beard.”
