hah, i feel so accomplished! for once in a long long while, i've actually done most of the stuff i'm supposed to do (a list is persistently glaring at me from the stickies i've posted on my computer screen - they're so pretty, i cant help looking at them) and my head feels so full of macroeconomics i feel like jeff borland. kinda unwanted feelings, but hey XD

i am soooo mad, never in my life have i seen so much proof of australian stupidity than right now - stupid australian olympic coverage is so damn biased i could seriously kick someone. I have no idea why even the commentators during matches, when Australia is seriously losing, say idiotic things like "this is indeed a stellar night for australian diving/boxing/bla bla bla" i have nothing against patriotism, but this is going way over the line. And everytime another country wins an event, Seven cuts off the part after the distribution of the medals where everyone stands up to honour the winner's national anthem. I wouldn't really be mad about it if they did it for everyone, but when Australians win, we undoubtedly have to hear the Australian national anthem over and over again.

I know this might seem extremely offensive. But I cannot fathom the unabashed bias demonstrated in every single minute of olympic programming channel seven puts on air. We don't even get to see badminton, or any of the asian martial arts events, because Australia isnt taking part in them. Thank god for SBS. How can Seven claim to provide full olympic coverage when the only events we get to see are those with Australians in them? To me, it is a disgustingly blatant disregard for the multiculturalistic nature of the Australian demographic.

Sigh.
