they never cease to amaze me

when the ground breaking movie "The Horse Whisperer" was released, my first thought was, what the hell is a horse whisperer? After learning of its true nature and meaning i was mildly amused and asked if that was even nessecary. Its uselessness and shear rediculousness would never be topped. until today. today i witnessed the world renowned sport of horse dancing. thats right, someone, somewhere decided that dancing horses deserves its own olymipic spotlight along side such phyisically demanding competitions as synchronized simming, handball and men's keiren (a bycical race where you don't have to cross the finish line first to win). somehow dancing horses has moved from a circus side show to an international competition.
This year the olympics have truely reached a new low. i still care about the olympics, but they made it harder and harder to get interested when it appears that any moron can qualify. i find it hard to believe there are more people in the world who practice horse dancing other then those who qualified for the olymipcs. the appearence that any shlub can get into these great games diminishes the luster and romanticism of the olympics. how long will it be until hardcore comeptitive ass scratching can win you olympic gold? shame on you IOC, for you have truely hit a new low.
