I kinda...forgot that there was an Olympic Games happening.

moment of death shit, pretty disturbing.

I'm not sure - they only showed it like 5 times and in slow mo like 3. Maybe another 2-3 times in super slow mo and we could see the poor guy's spirirt leave his body :beathead:

 

[dbdriftboat]

I agree. Never should have shown him dying like that. Sad what our media stoops to sometimes.

 

[Old Man]

Hows about a NFR on this shit. This is a fishing forum, not a Olympics forum. I don't care about the Olympics. It's all about people playing in the cold weather. I have enough cold weather where I live. I'd rather read about a few fish being CnR'd than this shit.

 

[rotato]

my bad about the lack of "nfr"
but sheesh old man, SORRY


nothing but solid fish talk from me

Now that was nice to see again! Thanks boot.

 

[Mumbles]

Brother Boot coming through yet again with some classic goodness that will make anyone feel a bit more Patriotic.
Rob, you are right about the footage. DBDriftboat, amen to the low stooping media coverage. They are out of control.
Jim, after all your time here and all those posts can't you tell before clicking which ones are not fishing related?

So don't read it you grumpy old turd. It was pretty obvious from the title what it was about.

 

[SpeySpaz]

well, I at first thought the thread might have secret instructions about what rock to stand on in the OP...

BTW, Mr Oh!No! did well last night huh,
and they managed two rounds of luge without another death...

The way I deal with that crass, prurient pandering is to just not watch. I didn't see any of the pictures of dead Haitians, won't watch a young man die tragically just for the shock value, knowing his friends any family realize it's being gawked at by millions world wide. Don't watch, and if you find it offensive let the networks know.

Our culture has become so twisted that when Janet Jackson's boob falls out during a sporting event, the public is scandalized that their children might catch a glimpse of baby food. But a horrendous death is good for prime time replays for all ages?

 

[Dan Page]

Don,
You got that right. Seems what used to be only found in National Enquirer is standard fare for all network news.

Well, the US women's hockey team beat China 12-1.
