    Typical Japanese sports program, big fish in a small pond syndrome. Nothing to get excited about. I think the locals are still coming to grips with the Olympic tournement failure. Getting whooped by the USA was a real stinger considering the J media hyped that as a sure fire win.…

    "Afghans fed up with government, U.S." ?

    My IBM thinkpad... cool as a cucumber ! Sony has been producing junk for years now. When will the lemmings cease their preoccupation with the Sony brand. The company has become a joke, a fossil, a representative of what Japan Inc has become.

    "Also, no offence but do you really think Phelps is 100% clean??"

    I certainly do ! As one of the most tested athletes at these Olympics I'd say the proof is in the pudding. What you are failing to acknowledge is that Phelps is not your average swimmer. This is…
