But outside of awful conditions and curling, what's the point of watching? We asked our readers to come up with some events that would actually make us tune in, and we gave $100 to the winner ...

People seem to forget that in the original Olympics, the losers were ALL executed.

I’d be happy if freepers stopped posting spoiler event results in thread titles posted in “news”.

AS is engaging in cross-thread bitching. Apparently he/she was really looking forward to watching a snowboarding event, and is acting like that jerk we all work with who demands silence on a sporting topic until he’s had a chance to watch it on his DVR.

There was a really funny commercial about that for Cox Cable a couple years back.

Oh....when he/she said ‘spoilers’ I thought they meant the two images I posted.

While I was there, I checked out the article on “Disturbing trends at ‘Etsy’.” (Etsy is a place where you can buy handcrafted arts and crafts.) If I posted that article, it would be quickly pulled with the comment “Good God, no! NO!!” from the Mods.

Hint: If someone from Cracked says something is “disturbing,” believe it. I have Cracked on my FB newsfeed, so I see a lot of this stuff go by. I have a few such places I keep on the feed, because I have a sick sense of humor.

I think cracked.com is hilarious. I've thought of posting more articles but I know they would be pulled.

I get addicted to it. Once I'm on the site I can't get off of it.

There is a liberal bend to some of the articles but that is to be expected.
