Default 2012 Olympic games.
Anyone going to the games ?
From what I've been reading it looks like the locals will be more than happy after the games are over.

Nope. If fact after the heterophobia and hoplophobia shown recently I'm actively avoiding it..... To be honest though I am only really interested in the archery.

Hoplophobia-it has been a very long time since I have heard that word, it is most appropriate and seldom heard.Well done.

I love the Olympics (despite what USA Swimming did to my cousin before the Beijing Games in 2008), and thought of going to London, but not after I read this.

From the article above.

"The stupid part of this, which I have argued to them, is that there are tons of gay couples on the Olympic team who will be rooming together, so we are being discriminated against because we are heterosexual,"
No, that's not true. They have a special exemption being part of the Pole Vault or Bush Diving competitions.
