    I can't watch those things.


    I'm not sure why I clicked on the thread.... I guess I'm the dude that rubber necks at accidents and can't stand the site of blood?

    /shrug

    At least I held firm (cough chickened out) and didn't watch the video!

    Its OK, Chinese officials replaced him with a cuter looking girl with straight teeth.

    I'm sure privacy was the last thing on this mind.

    Its this kind of reaction of why they put up a privacy barrier. Obviously they can't screen out the initial injury but they want to avoid anything more.

    I don't see why people are ragging on the Olympic officials for taking this step.

    I agree. It seems like the halfway decent thing to do, for the athlete, the fans, and especially the family of the athlete.

    Can you be female and a sissy at the same time?

    - Someone is hurt? That's so exciting! Let me see blood, coz I am so tough! Those damn commies, they blocked that view?
    - But US blocked the nipple, no?
    - Nipple is artificial, but blood is natural. I demand my right and my kids' right to see people in harms way, shed with blood, so that we can enjoy! Damn commies!

    That's terrible but at least with the privacy poster board things this guy doesn't have to deal with the whole world watching him lay there in agonizing pain.

    I was watching women's gymnastics last night [against my will] and some girl royally botched the balance beam or one of those events. Guess where that camera was immediately after while she was getting consoled and fighting tears: right in here face for a good 10-15 seconds.

    Different circumstances obviously, still the same point though. If you were the athlete would you want billions getting a close up of your pain and disappointment?

    Just another reason why I'm glad I declined to compete in the Olympics...

    Yes. Yes, you can. I once asked a girl out who didn't want to wear a dress. She said "I look like a sissy", and I was all " :eek: Aren't girls supposed to look like girls?" Nonetheless, she was the best looking girl on the dance floor.
