The Winter Olympics: Sochi 2014

I like our new maple leaf flag! Always thought the stars and stripes were way too busy a pattern.

It was like the American peoples thought "Hmm, the British flag isn't gaudy enough, how can we make ours even GAUDIER?  I know!"

(Sorry, Brits, your flag is pretty damn gaudy.  Not as gaudy as ours, but still.)

To be fair it is three flags combined into one.

And just imagine how much gaudier it could be if we included the Welsh flag by adding a big red dragon to it.

Why did we NOT add a dragon?

How about something more American, like a rattlesnake or a bald eagle?

No dragons in our Mythology.

Maybe you could add an american mythological creature.

Bigfoot perhaps?

[mellenORL]

The way we tend to stomp around like a 900lb gorilla as it is, yeah, why not Sasquatch?

You seem to be missing the point.

You asked a question, I gave an answer.

Ironbite-suck on it.

So some American evangelicals went to Sochi to protest homosexuality. It think picture perfectly illustrated how it turned out.

And just imagine how much more awesome it could be if we included the Welsh flag by adding a big red dragon to it.

FTFY.

[Witchyjoshy]

If the flag had a dragon on it I think I could actually feel some sort of pride in it.

Stupid dragon hating founding fathers D:<

Not that I've been following particularly closely, but I have noticed that the only time Australia ever seems to win anything is when the other athletes fuck up sufficiently. Not surprising, considering the general climate over here, but it's quite funny that our medal tally isn't so much a testament to the quality of our competitors, but rather to the fuck ups of everyone else's.

And just how blatantly obvious it is that this town was no where near prepared for the Olympics.

Sochi is nearly equivalent to having Charleston, South Carolina host a winter Olympics. Interesting to guess how many of the 51 billion, not the stolen part, will go into procuring imported and manmade snow by the Games' end.

They already spent more than the cost of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics just building the road from Sochi to the site of the games in the mountains.

No olympic medal for the Russian hockey team again, we (Finland, muthafucka) just wiped them out of the quarterfinals. Again we'll be competing for a medal for the 4th time in the last 5 olympics. we gon' git ya, Sweden!
