Anything Goes Figure Skating FTW!
So Plushenko displays how classy he is by awarding himself a platinum medal. sophiap and I had a discussion about how to resolve these problems which is too good not to share.

*just amazed at this guy, and not in a good way*
Sophia:
Oh, for god's sake...
He needs to SHUT UP
Aishuu:
Whine, whine, whine
It's not like he should be SHOCKED
he didn't play the new scoring system right
Sophia:
Right.
I like that they're putting a premium on artistry again.
Aishuu:
i think there needs to be some complexity
but if the quad is all that counts - why not just line them up and do a HORSE style tournament
Sophia:
BINGO
Aishuu:
*is snickering*
Should we suggest it to the Olympic Committee
"Last man standing WINS!"
Sophia:
Full contact figure skating!
Aishuu:
No padding! Padding is for hockey wusses!
Sophia:
Extra points for flying kicks.
Aishuu:
And for pairs, we'll measure the distance a partner can be thrown!
Sophia:
"And Weir executes a perfect toe-loop, with a carotid-severing follow-through. The judges will like that... good blood spray patterning."
Aishuu:
...sad thing is, I think Weir would probably LIKE that
Sophia:
(snickers)
Aishuu:
"First the animals, now the people! Dead bodies abound around Weir!"
Sophia:
"Oh, no... they'll lose points for not having any death result from that death spiral. They won't get docked full points because there was some maiming, but still--what a disappointment for the Canadian team."
Aishuu:
"In the finals, it's the Russians verses Americans, in the bloodiest reenactment of the Cold War since Bush saw Putin's soul in his eyes!"
(that made more sense in my head, I swear)
Sophia:
"We haven't seen anything like this since the days of 'Red Sonja' Henie!"
Aishuu:
"The sport owes its current dynamics to ground-breaking work of Tanya Harding!"
