Watching this I can't help but be reminded of the conversations I've had about the epic amounts of action that get underway in the athletes' village. Apparently they get through something like 100,000 condoms...

apparently (according to the commentary earlier) the muslims have been given leave to skip ramadan and make up for it later so they don't go weak from lack of food.

Fox news slated the berets, saying they look too foreign. Forgetting their mild mild link to the military.
