The Ghettoest Event

The Olympics will be over soon, so no need to worry about any more of my useless Olympic posts. For reals, though, the ghettoest event is race walking. It's like, go as fast as you can, but don't run, that would be silly. It's like having a bike race on a Nascar course. Why?

PS - The Bird's Nest stadium is pretty fucking cool.
PPS - I'm glad no one ran out on the course and tackled a marathoner this year. (If I were even capable of running a marathon, it would take me at least 6 hours. This guy just finished it in 2.)

Flag on the play!

You can't go around (on a blog) referencing shit like some guy tackling a runner during an Olympic marathon event without including -- at bare minimum -- a link. Better yet, a YouTube clip.

It took me all of 20 seconds to find this (which, granted, isn't that great a clip, but going on Hulu might be a better idea anyway, since that's where NBC and Fox keep all their shit.):
