Olympics 2008

On one hand I want to boycott because it's being held in China.

On the other hand, Olympics are supposed to bring the world together.

Regardless, I'll probably watch snippets here and there, and grumble that there's nothing but the stupid Olympics on NBC for the next 3 years. Or weeks.

Advertisers could have refused to advertise in protest, but it wouldn't have stopped the Olympics. I am curious to see if anything happens in protest that makes it out over the airwaves. While they can try and squelch protests within their country, its doubtful the international media isn't going to be so quick to succumb to their demands.
