the Not So Special Olympics hosted by Mike Judge and David Letterman
(cue Beavis and Butthead laughs)
Cut to 100 years later and you have litetal hunger games.
What about Olympics without drug restrictions? Like, how much can we improve on the human body?
I’ll start watching sports when there’s coked up cyborgs competing for who can stave off graft rejection for long enough to cross the finish line, thank you very much
/s but not really
We’ve already got the Tour de France, so that’s one sport down.
Athletes already put a lot of stress on their bodies as it is, a druglympic would end up with a lot of sick or dead people
Don’t we already kind of have this? Can’t people have done the drugs as long as they test clean at the event?
I’ve always like the idea that the Olympic events should have one “normal” person do them, at least for ones where that is plausible and makes sense (like racing events, maybe not stuff like the giant slalom or the ski jump)
Like, if you had a 9th swim lane and put a guy who swims 3 days a week in there for fitness, I guarantee he’d get completely smashed in a way that would really illustrate how much faster the Olympians are.
You’d have to pay that poor bastard though, most people won’t want to look a fool on live tv for nothing.
Come to Canada, we already have it! https://ground.news/article/olympics-for-regular-people-good-games-come-to-university-of-guelph
I’ve always wanted a normal person to take part alongside the pros.
Right?? Give ya some sort of scale
Dave might kill it, you don’t know!
That’s basically what Takeshi’s Castle is. :)
Hah. I don’t attend meetings I am supposed to be in, good luck with this.
This would be one of my favorite shows.
