The video above is hilarious! It’s video footage of Miss Teen South Carolina during the Miss Teen USA pageant and her major screw up of the question and answer portion. But the AUDIO is from the Sarah Palin interview with CBS’s Katie Couric. Great mashup. I can’t wait for the vice presidential debate next week!

And you thought Cash4Gold’s commercials were annoying? Well, this is just shameless, horrible, and probably ten times worse!

[ WARNING: SPOILER ]
Michael Phelps got his 8th gold medal in Beijing last night, with help from his teammates Brendan Hansen, Jason Lezak and Aaron Peirso. He’s 8 for 8! He’s the new golden boy!
Phelps is the first Olympic athlete to win eight gold medals in the same Olympic games. Phelps broke Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals when Spitz won them in the 1972 Olympic games in Munich, Germany.
The US swim team got a world-record time of 3 minutes, 29.34 seconds, Phelps’ 7th world record! Way to go, Michael and team USA for winning gold in this last relay!

The Three Medals From Beijing
During these Olympic games, the media all over the world has their eyes on China: the people, the culture, and the Olympic athletes. Currently, China has 35 medals overall, 22 of those being gold. The United Sates has 34 medals total, but only 10 of those are gold. What’s the big deal, you ask? Well, American media companies, like NBC and Sports Illustrated, were putting the US on top in medal count, even though traditionally the country with the MOST GOLD medals gets the top spot, NOT the country with the highest medal total. While NBC put the US on top no matter what, foreign media companies follow tradition and put China on top, only because it has the most Gold Medals.

Incredible! US Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has won his tenth and eleventh gold medal in Beijing yesterday! That gives him more gold medals than any Olympian in the history of the games! His first medal yesterday was for the 200-meter butterfly and his second was for swimming in the first leg of the 4×200 freestyle relay. British swimmer Simon Burnett said
I think I’ve figured out Michael Phelps. He’s not from another planet. He’s from the future. His father made him and made a time machine. Sixty years from now he is an average swimmer, but he has come back here to mop up.
Phelps is 5 for 5 so far, and he still has more finals this week! Let’s hope he goes home with all of the gold!

The 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China Have Begun
Today (as in here in the US, becuase it’s already tomorrow in China) the Olympics have begun! Watch the opening ceremony tonight on NBC! Let’s hope the US take home most of the medals, even though the Hamm brothers had to drop out, and a boxer collapsed, the US can totally take the gold! 
I’ll update after I watch the Opening Ceremony.

US Olympic Cyclist Michael Friedman arrived in Beijing wearing a face mask.
When four American cyclists (Michael Friedman, Sarah Hammer, Bobby Lea and Jennie Reed) arrived in Beijing this week, they got off their planes with respiratory masks on for concern of the air quality in the city. The air quality in Beijing has been improving due to the government’s strict new anti-pollution measures that were introduced on July 20, a last-minute attempt by the Chinese government to have clear, blue skies for the Olympic games.
Today, those same four American cyclists are apologizing to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee for wearing those masks. Bobby Lea went on to say the following:
We didn’t realize the impact that wearing the masks would have… From our standpoint it was to take care of a perceived health risk. In reality it came across as offensive. We don’t want to insult BOCOG or the Chinese public.
In my honest opinion apologizing to the Chinese for trying to keep healthy in a country where smog is ten times worse than the US is ridiculous. Those athletes can do whatever they want to try and keep their bodies healthy so that they can perform well in the Olympic games. Anyone else with me?
