Olympics? More like Corporatiolympics!
by Daniella A. Apple, Concerned Citizen of Humanity
On Friday I watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympic “Games” in British Empire Columbia. Normally I don’t watch things like this because the Highway 274 overpass doesn’t get good TV reception or electricity. But on Friday I was at the Denny’s on Fertilizer Runoff Lane and they had a TV on that showed everything. Normally I wouldn’t watch but this time I figured I would take a chance that I could keep my mind from being controlled if I kept my good eye mostly closed during the commercials.
I did not like what I saw. First of all, I thought it was a grave insult to the Native Aboriginal Indians that the “Games” are being held on their sacred burial grounds! If all of those athletes go home with voodoo curses on them, who will be laughing then? The Corporations, that’s who. When the Corporationist athlete sheeple were herded in they forced a bunch of Native Aboriginal Indians to dance and play drums and things but they never once addressed the deep shame of the World’s treatment of those Indiana Aborigine Natives. Funny. I thought Canada was “the land of the free and the home of the brave”, not the place that makes Native Aborginals dance on their sacred grave sites for Brian Williams.
Also where were the people representing the gay and lesbian nations? They should have danced too. Ashley McIssac does not count. Sometimes in parades there are whole gay floats. Funny. The Olympics are supposed to be about the oppressed peoples of the world, so where was the gay float at the opening ceremonies? Where were the gay and lesbian Aboriginal Indian Natives? And transsexuals? I know where they are. In prisons run by Monsanto.
And the other thing that made me mad was the guy they got to carry the Torch at the end and drive in the pickup truck. I don’t know who he is but I do know that it should have been Tommy Douglas, or else Wayne Gretzky.
The only part I liked was the slam poet because he looks like a boy I had a crush on in high school. He never shaved either.

I have been poking around the blogs trying to find out what is really going on with the protests. There is almost zero in the news… very hush hush.
Thanks for your take on it. I was stunned to see you mention Monsanto.
Wow, someone should do a little research on what happened (still) in Anniston, Alabama. Of course as soon as the jig is up Monsanto changes it’s name.

God, I wish I could have listened to commentary by Daniella during the Opening Ceremonies instead of Brian Williams. The whole thing would have made so much more sense, and would have been much less irritating.

You should have done what I’m doing, bro’, and not tune in the Olympics at all. No TV, no talking heads, no Brian Williams, and no ritual political correctness.
