Pleased to see the United States once again leading the medal count. Of course, that's assumed given our cultural and athletic superiority.

Hmmmm.... Finland has only one medal.

The United States has 24.

Blimey! Long time no.......cheerleaders

Even us Brits are above Finland in the medal table, now that is embarrassing although i'd much rather see the Finns winning medals.

Amusing thing to write considering the USA has a population around 308 million that's what some 58 times bigger than Finland ?

Does that mean the USA should have 58 medals to be on par with Finland ?

You also forgot...money, tranining facilities and dubious off-season drug testing.

I don´t even remember when winter Olympics have gone so badly for Finns.

Who cares?

In the grand scheme of things, the Winter Olympics lies somewhere in between genital hair waxing and watching paint dry.

Cheer Leaders? I don't understand, what are those?

But genital hair waxing is very interesting and watching paint dry not very interesting... so Winter Olympics could be anything in between

Seriously, why do I always sit watching women's ice hockey, curling and all the other crap that they show? I would never normally do that... except women's skeleton which is 'probably the best sport in the world'!

Between the winter olympics, talent shows and vomit inducing american soap operas I'm seriously contemplating Laestadianism.

Anything that involves bombing down a hill incredibly fast is fun...But it does get boring quick.

I don't really watch any sports, even the ones I am involved it. I'd rather do it than watch it. The proper olympics is the exception....Oh, women's beach volleyball is good too.

As for curling....potentially the dullest 'sport' on the face of the planet after golf, but each to their own and all that.

You seem to be forgetting Topless Darts... I remember coming back lagged up from the pub all excited to watch topless darts back in my youth. Certainly I would rather watch it than do it!

Was it women's topless darts?...cos I am not into man boobs.

(actually, never seen it! When was it on?)

link removed as I just noticed it has porn links

here you go... quality TV!

OK, next try (does not show the darts, but you get the idea)

Oh yeah - It was Sky...We didn't have that.

I used to watch a strange show in Japan where these two minor celebrities would go to various places and do tomoe-nages on girls wearing short skirts hoping to get a glimpse of her undies. And that was it...not even a prize was handed out.

The guy would wear a judo gi, therfore it was martial arts so i watched it.

Upskirts before Paris Hilton was flashing her bits.

Sadly the clip isn't on youtube anymore.
