My favorite event is the closing ceremony because that would mean that the Winters Olympics are over !!
The Olympics were awesome during the Cold War when there was a higher significance to beating the snot out of a Red or Communist Country. Now, who cares? It is just another complete waste of money and bad monopoly of TV time.
Finally, I'll be happy when the games are over so that the Weather Channel can stop telling me for hours how difficult it is to forecast in Vancouver, and start getting back to what they do best, showing stupid commercials.
