Outsourced Olympic souvenirs? WTF, Eh?

OK, so who was the super-brain who decided that it would be best to outsource the production of Vancouver Olympic merchandise to China (or whichever other country put in a NICE LOW BID)??!? Way to HELP STIMULATE THE CANADIAN (and British Columbian) ECONOMY, boys! Very patriotic of you, too.

As if I didn’t already have enough reason not to buy any of that shit – that probably includes the Canadian Hockey jerseys, as well – the only thing I MIGHT have POSSIBLY maybe CONSIDERED buying – now I hear you can’t even think of helping stimulate the Canadian textiles sector. Lemme guess -”If we’d gone with Canadian producers, the merchandise would have been too expensive and nobody would have bought any of it.” How much profit do you need to make from these pieces of crap, anyway – 500%? 1000? Wouldn’t 100% have been sufficient?

Lame.

With any luck there won’t be another olympics – Winter or Summer – held in Canada in my lifetime*. The hype and hypocrisy are givin’ me a sour stomach.

Rachel Marsden in “HOW NOT TO BE CANADIAN”

Sweet fucking HELL!

Who does Rachel Marsden think she is? On which qualifications does she base her assertions that she knows that us WHITEYS (or CRACKERS, etc) have been the sole bringers of civilisation to the rest of the world?

Seems that the publication, the Telegraph, is little better than an online version of the American FOX news.

Truly PATHETIC.

I find it revolting to think that someone raised in Canada, one of the most inclusive societies in the world, would so blithely spout this utter rubbish. And if she’s doing this solely to be clever, well, that’s even worse – especially from my point of view, as I despise that sort of cleverness, and the arrogance that accompanies it, with a passion just short of homicidal rage.

RACHEL – You are a blight on Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and, basically, ALL OF HUMANITY.

Uhh, what country do you think this is?

To Stevie, Gordo, Grego, VANOC, RCMP, Vancouver Police: 

We live in CANADA not the DICTATORIAL REPUBLIC OF VANCOUVER-WHISTLER-STAN, you fucking morons. 

What is this shit with approaching people who took a class taught by someone who (GASP!) doesn’t support the Olympics, and the clusterfuckery that has resulted from it (Athletes’ Village ring a bell?).  And how about them there “Free Speech ZONES”? Pretty cool idea, huh?  Too bad it was already in place – it’s called CANADA.  Unless there have been changes to our Charter Rights, you are COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE FOR EVEN THINKING of restricting peoples’ right to protest (peacefully, of course) WHEREVER THEY WANT.  Got it? GOOD!!!

Esp. to Stevie and Gordo – why do you think I didn’t vote for either of you?  It’s because you both would do the Gruesome Twosome – Gorgeous George Bush and DARTH Cheney – proud.  You are approaching their class of ARROGANCE and HEARTLESSNESS with shocking speed.

Therefore, in conclusion, you are all welcome to go fuck off and die at any time.  HAVE A NICE DAY, Y’ALL.
