Duncan Birch needs to take his hot wife and go get him some Sonic food.

Wow, if true, this would be a disaster! Wow.

These guys truly don’t suck. lol

Peking is Soylent Green.

ParisParamus on August 1, 2008 at 10:07 PM

Now see, this is what I’ve been worried about!

Where, where’s my hat?

WHERE IS MY TINFOIL HAT????

Scribbler on August 1, 2008 at 10:11 PM

Yikes. Glad I’ll be watching from home.

Best line: “Send in the pole-vaulters, like canaries in a coal mine.”

Synchronized swimming team would have been funnier.

That lady is great!

Those big holes are kimchi pits for the North Korean’s lunch jars.

Dusty on August 1, 2008 at 10:41 PM

Must flee TV.

saved on August 1, 2008 at 10:47 PM

Do they actually pay people to put out this kind of stupid claptrap? I’m sorry but I don’t think this is at all funny.

Pal2Pal on August 1, 2008 at 10:54 PM

Isn’t that woman on the Detroit city council?

Don’t be sorry, although you are alone with that opinion.

Well, dragons and stone warriors come to life are no laughing matter, at all. Remain vigilant, citizens.

Pal2Pal on August 1, 2008 at 10:54 PM

If it’s not funny, why am I laughing at you?

The Race Card on August 1, 2008 at 11:22 PM

Okay… that sh!@% is funny.

Sugar Land on August 1, 2008 at 11:22 PM

The Onion is one of my podcasts downloaded directly to my iTunes. I have to say some are dumb, this one is funny. It’s the lunatic conspiracy theory presented as if it’s genuine mainstream thought. That’s funny.

Snake307 on August 1, 2008 at 11:33 PM

hahahaaa

becki51758 on August 1, 2008 at 11:43 PM

I wouldn’t stare at the TV doing the opening ceremonies either.

Zaire67 on August 1, 2008 at 11:50 PM

That’s exactly why I keep my walls covered in rings and balance beams connecting the rooms.

Nethicus on August 1, 2008 at 11:57 PM

Of all the panelists, Congresswoman Maxine Waters made the most sense.

That was her wasn’t it!?!?!?!?!

Chimp 6 on August 2, 2008 at 12:12 AM

Just my guess, Dusty, but probably only you and I got your Kimchi joke. My wife makes that stuff and I HATE it!

Warner Todd Huston on August 2, 2008 at 12:57 AM

Warner Todd Huston on August 2, 2008 at 12:57 AM

I Love Kimchi! I don’t have a wife, so I had to learn how to make it myself.

WildBillK on August 2, 2008 at 1:03 AM

It’s a Trap!

Warner Todd Huston on August 2, 2008 at 12:57 AM

Yours, too, WTH? My wife loves the stuff. I have to leave the room, if not the house. Which…may…be…why…

Heywaitaminnit!

Captain Scarlet on August 2, 2008 at 6:06 AM

Didn’t BHO vote against sending our athletes to Beijing in the first place?

And I’ll bet Murtha has a plan to redeploy our athletes over the horizon, to Okinawa.

soundingboard on August 2, 2008 at 6:53 AM

Let’s send in the men’s figure skaters first…

sabbott on August 2, 2008 at 6:55 AM

We should not be there because the placed is polluted to the point the Chicoms stopped the Aussies from cooking out the other day, because their food would get contaminated.

How can you perform athletics in that?

Captain Scarlet on August 2, 2008 at 6:06 AM

My neighbor’s wife makes it too. I have to leave my house. But she’s very cute, so it’s cool.

JiangxiDad on August 2, 2008 at 8:15 AM

Why America must boycott the Olympics

Because China is dirty and we should boycott them until they learn to use disinfectant.

Lehosh on August 2, 2008 at 8:52 AM

Nancy Fichandler ftw. They need to have her on more often. Hilarious deadpan.

Tanya on August 2, 2008 at 9:43 AM

I’m concerned that the biathalon athletes will be distracted by the crouching tigers and hidden dragons flitting from tree top to tree top.

Doug on August 2, 2008 at 9:50 AM

Am i the only one that thinks the Olympics would be much, MUCH better if the scenario The Onion paints was true?

madne0 on August 2, 2008 at 11:15 AM

ParisParamus on August 1, 2008 at 10:07 PM

Stay away from the Peking “Duck” on the menu!!!

eeyore on August 2, 2008 at 11:45 AM

Holy crap, it’s Bobby Rivers! Long time since VH1, eh?

playblu on August 2, 2008 at 12:29 PM

The right magic spell??? You gotta love THE ONION… And yes that lady is on the DETROIT CITY COUNCIL…

pueblo1032 on August 2, 2008 at 12:36 PM

Is it too late to get our athletes BACK? Haven’t they already landed in China??

What time is the first return flights???

originalpechanga on August 2, 2008 at 12:56 PM

That Nancy, what a pip.

oakpack on August 2, 2008 at 5:07 PM

I wonder how many laundries there are in China…

Wyznowski on August 2, 2008 at 5:59 PM

It is NEVER appropriate or right to use the Olympics as a platform for political grandstanding!
