Official Vancouver 2010 Olympics Thread

double

Shatner + Michael Jay Fox + Canadian stereotype show

They made up for all the wrong in these olympics.

“The final frontier” I LOVE YOU CAPTAIN!

I’m a Canadian who doesn’t care about hockey. Hell, I can’t even skate. There was something beautiful, however, about our Olympic win today. I may not be the biggest hockey fan but I was damn happy about the great sense of pride that win gave Canadians. Power to ya boys, great win.

everything you post is the most retarded shit i’ve ever read. Please learn some shit about the game before you talk about it.

Avril is still hot.

I’m with LGP on this one. Why should we be careful? We won, ggpo America. So what if Canadian teams don’t win the cup every year, that shit’s easy to understand, the states put more money into their teams and get the expensive players, a heck of a lot are Canadians too.

I fuckin love the sore loser salt, but not as much as I hate the Crosby hater salt.
Tastes soooo good.

I don’t know why everyone’s gotta be like:
-but we gotz more medals
-but we win Stanley Cups!
-but we can beat u in a war!
-but winter olympics suk! Summer is better!
-but hockey sux, baseball is better
-but we are still the country that the rest of the world envies!

The American Hockey team played a great tournament and exceeded expectations to get to a Silver Medal finish, something that should make every American sports fan proud. So why does anyone need need to re-validate themselves as the “superior nation” on the internet.

“The final frontier” I LOVE YOU CAPTAIN!

True.

that was awsome having a star trek reference.

yeah i dunno. maybe there are a lot of in depth reasons. but maybe its just better to chalk it up to patriotism, which is fine to have. if countries werent patriotic the games wouldnt be interesting.

Final medal count on first post!

I know this is late but GG USA. You gave us a run for our money.

I just got into Vancouver today and the mood was electric, every stop on the Skytrain people would start cheering. Great sunny day too.

I was in an elevator with a family from the US decked out in their team USA gear and it was sooooo awkward. When I got off some people started cheering and I thought for a second that maybe I shouldn’t join in…but no, this is the one day when we can pretend we’ve got something over America so fuck it…

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

words go here

“I like LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU” lol that shit was awesome.

There is a fine line between Patriotism and Arrogance.

Patriotism:
-Feeling proud that your country won the Gold Medal.
-Feeling proud despite that your country didn’t win the Gold Medal.
-Feeling heartbroken that your country didn’t win the Gold Medal.

Arrogance
-Feeling the need to restablish that another country’s triumph is meaningless and that your country is still greater.

Tessa Virtue is kinda cute.

EDIT: hahahah I love the tags for this thread.

possibly greatest hockey game next to the more obvious one. <3 usa <3 the canadians

we all…da best!

the rest of the world can suck both our countries icing.

in all that apologizing, Kevin McCallister’s mom didn’t even say sorry for the gay hell’s angel lumberjack.

wow
you ARE the stupidest poster on SRK

fashionable? people have hated on them since they came out.

No, you’ve still got a pretty good lead on me there (and other people have a pretty good lead on you, but it’s still hard to sell you short).

People hated Nickelback to the extent any other band is hated when they first pop up. Right now, though, hating on Nickelback is to society at large what blurting out “God doesn’t exist” is to the internet. It’s a placeholder where something clever or intelligent should go. Case and point:

How many subtle jabs at Canada’s “musical” “history” could he have taken? But no. “Nickelback is terrible”.

And I don’t have anything by them on my PSP (I don’t have an iPod because I’m heterosexual), but I’d put them over most bands and “artists” who are doing shit right now.
