You Sane? 10 Seconds of Insane Bolting is Entertainment?

Usain Bolt seems to be a nice fellow. He has a sense of humor. He doesn't seem to be the usual athlete-egomaniac moron.

But who the fuck cares? WHO the fuck CARES?

He's the fastest man...for ten seconds?

Somebody ELSE is the fastest man if we're talking about a mile?

SOMEBODY ELSE ENTIRELY is the fastest man if we're talking about a marathon distance??

This is a load of crap. Which is what some marathon runners actually leave on the city streets as they trot along for hours, oozing perspiration and feces.

Which is why long distance marathons are more entertaining than sprints. I like the SUFFERING. I like the AGONY. I like to see some skull-faced dimwit from Kenya stare with open-eyed agony while some equally repulsive spook from Uganda suddenly kicks in and takes over in the last few moments. And then both get passed by some other near-dead zombie nitwit from some other God-forsaken place where they have no sports equipment and can only run around all day long in sand and mud.

But a sprint? A ridiculous sprint? Some bozo in his underwear bolting along for less time than it takes to open a packet of crisps???

"Here, you can have some of my salt and vinegar potato -- what? The race is OVER already? Who won? Well, I know the BLACK guy, but which one? I see six of them flopping all over the track, exhausted. Oh, the one who ISN'T on the ground. Mr. Bolt. The one laughing and slapping the back of some other Jamaican jerk-off. Well, good for you, Mr. Bolt. This means that if I give you a letter to put in the letter box on the corner, you'll be there and back in under half a minute. Then we can continue our discussion on why Jamaica is such a shitty country to live in."

Who decided on 100 meters anyway?

Proves nothing. Not a fucking thing. And it's not amusing or entertaining. It's over too fast. Every 100 meter race looks the same no matter who is in it. Go find tapes of 100 races and run them. That'll put you to sleep!

Even a good horse race is going to take more than a few seconds. There's more suspense to it, too. The horse isn't running in its own lane. It has to navigate around a track and there are a lot of variables. And best of all, there's always the possibility it'll just fall over and throw the sadistic midget on top of it a good 50 feet into the air.

This stupid 100 meter run...there's almost NO possibility that anyone is going to get severely hurt.

PS, this race was held in Moscow, where the Olympics will be. Nice, real nice. There should be NO Olympics in Russia, or anyplace else where human rights are violated more times than Kim Kardashian's butt hole.
