Are you a sports fan or just watching for the spectacle of it all? Do you feel they are overrated?

The Olympics are just days away from the opening ceremony. Athens is gearing up and so are all the sponsors. But amazingly I just don’t seem to be as into it this year. Normally every year I know a lot about whose competing, how many medals countries are predicted to win, etc. This year I find myself just not giving a damn. Maybe its because of all the corporate sponsorship? Corporate sponsorship has always been a factor, at least for the last say 50 years. But maybe its like the post I posted a couple days ago where you get kicked out for wearing the wrong type of shirt that is not a sponsor. What is this world turning to? We are letting corporations tell us what we can and cannot wear or do? Ever watch the movie Demolition Man? A futuristic movie with Sylvester Stalone? It talks about a world where there they had corporate wars - and only Taco Bell survived the Fast Food wars and is actually the only restaurant at all. Or are you familiar with Shadow Run? Where corporations control the world and governments were a thing of the past. The same goes for Johnny Pnemonic. This is where we are going if we don’t watch ourselves.
