When i was reading this at a first i found the joke almost funny. And you know, you can flame the French judge ad nauseam, i saw the competition and in my heart Canada won. (Even if i m French.. ).
The only things that annoy me in this thread is to make fun of a hot topic like talibans.
Anyways skating is a so corrupt sport that i don't give a damn about what the judge said and i watch the competition and when 2 persons shine on the ice they win in my point of view. It s a sport where i don't give a damn about gold medal simply because it is so subjective. (in this case it was not subjective and all the judge who rated Canada 2° were corrupt or under crack)
I just found out today that the American judge for the ladies' ice skating competition graduated from the same high school that I did, only 14 years before me.
