sometime when I am doing chores around the house I like to put on the Olympic channel and have some track and field or skiing or something going on in the background. Ski Jumping was on and the commentators started talking about "style points." WTF? Apparently jumping the furthest distance does not guarantee the win anymore. da fuc?

The scoring system combines distance with style points, recorded by five judges.

I literally watched some one jump way farther than everyone else loose because of style... even the commentators were like "wut?"

It is way worse than that. Everything has been changed over to subjective measurement for a long time... but somehow it never really effected the outcome of things. The power was there but not overtly used. Now the establishment power is used and wielded in the open with no shame. We can have sporting events and they will just give the medal to whoever the fuck they want. This is a clear sign that they feel like they have already won and there is nothing you can do to fight back.

They underestimate the american people then. We will not be giving in to this for much longer.
