Hippies wear burlap potato sacks for clothing, play acoustic guitar poorly, and don't actually believe in anything. Klezmer punk revivalists dress snappily and write satirical invective verse to accompany traditional Jewish folks music. This particular Klezmer punk revivalist is criticizing the policies surrounding the Olympic games by addressing a single issue in a humourous light in order to evoke a dialogue about our cultural priorities and how we manifest them.

In the famous words of the LORD... "The poor you will always have with you"

Show some patriotism... you never know what may come out of the Olympics.... There are worse things goin on in other countries... we have a good country... try living in Sudan or some where in Africa!!! Thank you LORD for your mercy, grace goodness and the ability to have FUN!! YOU ARE GOOD!!! GO CANADA GO!!!!!

[rugside]

Yes Lord, thank you for the aids epidemic in Africa and and the forward thinking fundamentalist governments of the Middle-East. We know that your purpose for all that suffering falls into the incomprehensible spectrum of your solitary wisdom and we thank you for making Westerners your favoured people. Also, thanks for the Olympics, they're way more cool than the arts or social programs. GO CANADA GO!

[Arathae]

wow that was rather offensive. What the heck is with the dead children? Do they not move the people who investigate childrens deaths? I mean the world doesn't stop just because someone is unhappy about something that has nothing to do with other things. Does that make sense?

[adaywest]

That was shit

[andrewt1on1]

Hey Rugside, do you still have this rather sarcastic attitude about the Olympics?...now that they've ended, and everybody agrees that they were an incredible, smashing success for Canada??

So now people are furious they might have to pay the 12% HST tax and are doing anything in their power to get it shot down. These people really do want to have their cake and eat it too.
