Butthurt Little Country Gets Pwned at Olympics Anonymous
Australians, more than most, derive enormous pride from its national sporting achievements, and is used to winning a disproportionate amount of Olympic medals. Australians boast they punch above their weight in sport, and have pumped massive amounts of money, more per capita than any other nation, into its Olympics program. Every four years Australians (apparently with little else to be proud of) are whipped into a patriotic frenzy by "kicking American ass" or "whiping the poms". The headlines boast "Aussies are the Best", but they don't like to think why... (It sure aint superior genes)

How much public money is a gold medal worth? In Beijing, each gold medal has cost Australia at least $50 million, says Kevin Norton, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Australia. Or, to put it another way, $12 million came out of the public purse for each medal of any colour. Unfortunately other countries have realized they too can buy national pride and have been pumping money in too, seeing Australia's medal ranking slump. Australia's IOC Delegates have told the government they need even more money or they'll slip further.

A country that measures its worth in Olympic gold medals has too little to boast about. But little outcry is heard over our failure to be a world-beater in, say, solar technology, or in any pursuit apart from being the world's best quarry. Yet there is no reason we can't be like the Finns and produce the equivalent of the Nokia phone, the Swedes, who gave the world Ikea, the Netherlands with their classy Philips brand, or the Swiss with Nescafe coffee, Rolex watches and Nestle baby food. Economies much smaller than ours have produced clever, world-beating ideas and products that are household names around the globe.

Maybe Australia needs to get a life. Maybe America too, since China is #1 for Gold. America argued you should count every medal, as if Gold = Bronze. Oh you butthurt faggots!

We're still doing so this Games. Just not *sufficiently* disproportionate, which is why everyone's so disappointed in our team this time.

Please go and look up the enormous contributions the country has made to astronomy, aeronautics, biochemistry, agriculture, surgical procedure, etc. We're also the best immigrant country on earth.

Regardless, 8/10

The writer of that is kind of right. The Australian media is definitely trying to get us butthurt over the fact that the Poms are beating us in # of gold medals.

Especially Channel 7 last night with the Sailing montage. Of course, Channel 7 is fail, but they're one of the two TV stations that air Olympic events.

Most people I've met don't really care, but the bogans/extremely patriotic Australians will probably find this absolutely unacceptable.

Remember the Fucktards' Code, guys:

If you like sport you're a bogan.
If you like to see Australia doing well you're a bogan.
If you know any fact about Australia that isn't negative you're a bogan.
If you feel at all good about the country you're a bogan.

Oh, shut the fuck up Op. That argument it getting old. Let's say theoretically China had only 47 Gold, 0 Silver, & 0 Bronze, with the rest of their countrymen coming in 4th. And American had their 31 Gold, 36 Silver, & 35 Bronze. You mean to tell me China still would win with their 47 total vs. America's 102? I'm for the "Gold>All" as everyone else, but you HAVE to count Silver and Bronze for something.

10 Silvers = 1 Gold
15 Bronzes = 1 Gold

And even with this system China was indisputably topped the MT

1.3 = gold
1.2 = silver
1.1 = bronze

Here's another thought experiment:

Suppose USA had zero gold medals (it's only hypothetical) but like 150 silver and bronze total? Would you still say USA "won" the Olympics?

That's pretty much France. They only have 5 Gold, 13 Silver, and 16 bronze. However going by goldfag counting they're behind Jamaica who only has 6 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze.

Rank of people who give a shit.

Gold - Everyone

Silver - Better luck next time, try harder.

Bronze - Who the fuck?

Market Price -

Gold >>(Market Value- £444.40 + White Jade is 40x market value of gold)>>Silver>>( £7.21)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What tipped you off? The over-dramatic bow he took after he got out of the water? The way he held his hands over his face and cried tears of joy? The way he hugged every single guy in the arena and only one girl? Or maybe something else? lol

I kinda feel sorry for him, to be surrounded by all those fit and flexible dudes and not get an erection must be monumentally difficult.
