The heritage outrage is ridiculous as these can easily be removed in the future and it’s not the end of the world that it looks different for who knows how long.

What I can’t agree with is keeping them in the first place, it looks out of place and tacky. And what the fuck was even memorable about these Olympics, shitting in a river, a Dutch child rapist, and Australia committing crimes against humanity under the guise of breakdancing?

The venues were pretty cool I thought. Nice break from ‘generic sport stadium A’.

Fundies being offended at the opening was cool.

Personally, I agree that it’s an eyesore on the tower, but I don’t expect this effort to succeed.

The best thing at the Olympics was Celine Dion. I honestly was moved to tears. That said, and probably in jest, the rings could be moved to Las Vegas and rise up in the new Celine Dion production to sing Hymne de l’Amour on stage!
