I always watch.

I am waiting to see what gets bombed/mobbed/who dies ect first. I think something will end up going horribly wrong.

Yes.
I mean I always watch and I think it will be a hot mess frankly... but I will still watch for that reason.

Have you seen the pictures of the hotel rooms reporters are staying in? lol

I'll watch some. I don't go out of my way to make sure I see x, y, or z but I will catch what's on when I'm around if it interests me.

I prefer the Summer Olympics, but I'll watch some of the coverage just by nature of it being on all the time, I'm sure.

I'm not watching. Mostly because I never do, and because of the mass slaughter that seems to be taking place of the cities stray dogs.

Between the human rights violations and the animal slaughter, probably not. I boycotted Beijing for the same reasons.

^ This. I mean... I don't really watch anyway, but sometimes I'll sit down and watch a bit here and there. I don't think I will this year.

I usually do, but not this year. The biggest reasons is because of the animal slaughter. Also, the conditions there are not so great, & it annoys me.

I'm still going to watch. I personally love the Olympics and I always like to watch and support the athletes. For me it's not cut and dry in terms of the negative aspects surrounding the Olympics (corruption, anti-gay rights, culling of dogs). Beijing had its fair share of controversy too. It comes with being an event held in places around the world.

I don't support the corruption, the killing, any of it. But I can voice that opinion where it matters and still watch the athletes compete.

One of our local radio DJs is there, and he tweeted a video tour of his room. OMG. :rofl1:
