What do you think was the most embarrassing moment of the Beijing Olympics?

Question

Personally, I thought the most embarrassing moment came during the Opening Ceremonies when U.S. President George W. Bush was slumped in his chair, obviously bored with the whole thing, and demonstrating a complete lack of respect for his Chinese hosts, and - once again - humiliating the United States of America. Like the spoiled rich kid that he is, Bush proved that he has no 'class', little integrity and crude, abominable manners.

Thank goodness Bush wasn't there for the spectacular pageantry and beauty of the closing ceremonies. He would have only shamed the American people all over again.

Answer 1

hahah when the chinese govt. said the smog was mist

Answer 2

I take it you didn't witness Boris Johnson - the Mayor of London - at the closing ceremony then. You think Bush has abominable manners?  

Answer 3

The American Women's Gymnastics team getting second place to China's 13 year old team.

Canada not getting a medal for so long.

Answer 4

when bush was asked to slap one of the beach volley ballers butts ahhahahah

Answer 5

Were you really and truly embarrassed that the president seemed bored?  The typical male is not interested in pomp and pageantry.  I'm glad the president went to China to show respect to their country.  Many countries were talking about boycotting the opening ceremonies, so I was happy to see Bush, as well as the former President Bush, at the ceremony with their family.

Answer 6

haha....

Answer 7

where dat guy couldnt lift da weight

Answer 8

When Chinese and American gymnastics fell several times

Answer 9

Dear RKO ***

Being a South African, i think our south african competitors barring ONE are extremely embarrased!!  

If Mandela was still in office, our olympic competitors would have been well informed, groomed, and polished.

  

Our S.A. president mbeki has been like bush since he first started in office.  An absolute waste of time!!

He has also been accused of FRAUD in the ZUMA case trial, yes, which is still going on.

Perhaps Mbeki, Bush and associates should have their own office in Zimbabwe alongside the gorilla (mugabe zoo).

and, the highlights for me was definately watching the Jamaicans running, absolutely phenominal!!!!! what are they eating????? hee hee.

luv

peppa

p.s.  most of our talent has immigrated!!!!  they are living in your countries.  There will be no more talent for south africa now.  The only talent left are the professional thieves., and yes i know because i said I am South African the pale kind, I will not even get a point.  It's o.k. , well done to all your competitors who achieved medals.  Bye!!

Answer 10

i have to agree with you on that one lol the entire time i was like, does bush realize that he is being filmed and watched by MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people, well luckily we won't have to deal win him at the VanCouver or London games

Answer 12

Answer 13

THe U.S. track and field team dropping the baton in the relays. Unbelievable... unbelievable.

Answer 14

I didn't notice it, I wish I would have.

Uhh....probably the US dropping the baton, AND the french talking c**p to the US swimming team, and then ended up losing. Umm let me think....and I'm watching the Closing Ceremony right now and......Congrats to China they really tore it up this year! BUT they can't sing for mess! Did you hear them? Oh my!
