The last event I watched was in '96. Then I became aware of the IOC behaving like the RIAA/MPAA asshats by restricting the 'net (blogging, photos, domain names, etc.).

I've been living in SLC since that time, and my family totally boycotted the 2002 winter games.

Screw the Olympics, the IOC, the sponsors, and even the athletes who make such a juggernaut possible to begin with.
