After the luger got killed, Europe's spin on the games turned negative and this type of stuff is making major headlines with a lot of news agencies now. If it is negative and related to the Vancouver games it will get you read.
I was also in Torino in '06 and their OC never even finished construction of the athlete's village(including washrooms) although they promised the IOC and athletes it would be done every day.

It kind of reminds me of the hatred I see posted on other NHL boards (like TSN for example) towards Flames and their fans...heck I thought everyone loved the Flames ;-)
