Olympic shenanigans

I haven't watched a single second of the Paris Olympics. Who on Earth would choose the city of Paris as a site for Olympic games? (I guess the same people who would choose Seoul. Or Los Angeles.) I've heard about the opening ceremony, though—the pagan mockery of the last Supper and all that.* I also saw that the South Korean team, when it came out, was mistakenly billed as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, i.e., North Korea. The ROK got its revenge, though, in women's archery. Take that, Japan, and you supposed Zen archers. You suck! South Korea is the land of the Legolasses (Scots Legolassies)!

*It's tempting to say that this is just the French being French, tastelessly flaunting their Frenchness to/at the world. But I see this as a leftist power play, a reminder to people like Marine Le Pen of who's still in the driver's seat, and it ain't her.
