Screw France.

The IOC should realize that the United States gives them zillions of dollars in TV rights and put the game in the US where it belongs. It's a long time between Summer games in the States between 1996 and 2012.

But then again, it's the IOC and they are pretty much bread on the inefficient Frenchy culture of bribery and corruption. France and the IOC are a perfect match.

There's another Olympics I won't be attending or watching. Oh, well.

I hate to be nasty, but I hope...

- the games are boycotted by America
- most of the population of Quebec attends
- they get another nasty heat wave
- it results in a financial disaster
