Total Control side effects may affect any person, but are usually more pronounced in progs.

Total Control can cause some serious side effects. These can include an erection that will not go away (priapism), sudden vision loss in one or both eyes, and sudden hearing decrease or hearing loss. Some men have also experienced heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeats and even death after taking total control.

Current research shows Total Control may be required in some cultures.

Not watching. It’s gone out-of-this-world woke, political and stupid.

Japanese can’t be happy with the Opening Ceremonies if you know what I mean. The pick to light the flame was a slap in the face to Japan.

Not watching any of it. Who was the pick?

Born in Japan to a Haitian father and a Japanese mother, Osaka has lived and trained in the United States since age three...

I just read the description of the Ceremonies, as woke as woke can get. Won’t bother watching. I think the average Japanese person would have hated it, and I can’t say I would blame them. Games should have been cancelled anyway.

I'm watching the replay of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Opening! What a TORCH RUN, that thing would never pass emissions control today! At 9 minutes, the run with Mt.Fuji in the background is most spectacular! And, yes, the narration is very disjointed for the national teams parading into the stadium.

I do feel sympathy for Tokyo & Japan at this disaster, considering that the impetus for this bid was to show Japan's recovery from the 3 March 2011 9.0 Earthquake & Tsunami disaster! Now all of the athletes, other than the non-stadium sports, will be without spectators and public support. Will be interesting, on a psycho-sociological basis, to see if new world records are more or less on that scenario.

Potemkin Village Olympics. Nobody in the stadium. Nobody watching. Everybody wearing stupid masks.

Surprising, though, how many blondes there were. Even from countries where you wouldn't expect it. COVID must have been good for the hair dye industry.

—” as woke as woke can get. “

IMO the 0lympics have been a money machine for the inside players only and woke might just might make them broke.

Too bad, so sad.

And a frickin’ Gaijan lit the flame.

They should have gotten Shun Fujimoto, the gymnast who landed his mount on a broken leg to give Japan the Team Gold Medal....But noooooo, they had to go full SJW.

The VAST majority of athletes in every country is training, living and attending university in the United States.

I hope the Japanese people protest to the point where it gets shut down. Polls there suggest that 80% do not want it.

LOL, which is why I suggested they should not compete for their countries, but for the US Universities they attended.

—”Nobody watching.”

Will the advertisers receive a rebate?

I see Toyota the 0limpic sponsor is NOT buying any air time?

And most likely supported by you, me, and other taxpayers.

I hope they are nice people?

It would be very interesting if there was an additional column on the scoreboard for each Olympian showing the country in which the person resides or trains. The world would see that the (not) “evil racist“ USA is the country of choice for so many.
