Woah, y'all, someone bombed the OutGames.

more here, and here, here, and here.

I'm shocked, simply shocked, to find that the bombing of a major sporting event that had several Canadian athletes, including some from my home city, has not been mentioned in either my local paper or the Globe & Mail.

ETA: BBC ran it.

Nothing mentioned on Yahoo Sports yet either. :-/

It's a good thing that nobody was seriously injured or killed. (Not that I'm saying shrapnel in the hand is lucky, it's just better than it could have been.) I'm glad he was able to run the next day, and I'm glad they caught the guy who did it.

Man, that's a thousand times better than I could do after something like that. But I'm a wuss who avoids pain like the plague. Koga's a BAMF.

Can I join you? I'm thinking something with delicate scales, nictating membranes, maybe really brightly coloured skin? Wouldn't mind the power of flight, either, but gills would be almost as good.

I want wings and blue skin.

And the ability to subvert the will of men.

Yeah--but I'll let you keep your clothes if you want.
Also your nipples.

Oh good. I like my nipples. (Although nipple-less fishladies don't but me that much - I think my brain somehow assumes that they are wearing a bodysuit like they would be if they were a character in a movie. What disturbs me are the airbrushed-out nipples in lingerie catalogues when they models are wearing sheer... things, creating this disturbing Barbie-doll effect.)

I wanna be purple with sparkly green polka dots. And a spaceship like Moya.

This has potential. Will you fly me around if my wings get tired?

As far as I know, Koga is human too. And he wins a lot more than just the Track & Field event.

I guess it's a sign of my lack of faith in humanity that I wasn't surprised at the bombings so much as at the injured runner getting seen by doctors, treated, and out of the hospital in 4 hours.

Well, it was in Copenhagen, and they's in one of those European SOCIALIST countries with long lines and rationing actually free, available healthcare.

WTH, 2009? Are you in some kind of contest with other years to see who can be crappiest?

There was an article about this in one of the local news portals. The comments still make me want to kill something.

BBC did run it, at least.

No where *else* I've checked, but hey - BBC.

What the fucking hell? I check both CTV News and my local paper's website every goddamn day, and I haven't heard about this. Well, I'm sure glad they had time to report about Twilight and some crazy old lady who's scooter got slightly banged up by an airline and is demanding three times the generous compensation they have already offered her. Stupid bastardy craps... *wanders off ranting incoherently*

WHOA. I can't believe this is getting no press. Well, attention re: anti-gay violence is focused on Tel Aviv now.
