Site Review: 2002 Olympics

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the 100-click-dash dept.

Andy King writes: "If Olympic Web sites were an event, Salt Lake wouldn't even take the bronze. Our review reveals some gnarly accessibility moguls." There's another review of the site which mentions the many accessibility problems that the Sydney Olympics had with its website. The site doesn't appear to work at all with konqueror.

      Yeah, I used to worry about Karma burn when I had any respect for the moderators. I now realize that the vast majority are craven, jealous, pathetic 12 year olds. How you get to be craven at 12 is beyond the scope of my understanding.

    Yeah it's their fault that they can't see when born of get sick.

    "If their seeing eye dog or red tipped cane can't get them around a website, why the hell is it our problem."

    A little thing called being nice and a little set of laws called the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

    "You know, there used to be a time when defective children where drowned right off the bat and tossed in a hole in the ground."

    That was most likely a widespread thing in what? The 13th century.

    "If a person is defective, what good are they?"

    You sound like the commendant of Belzec really quite sad.

    That the Olympics still matter to people in some way.
    No. The "games" are now just a low rent adjuct to the corporate sponsored corruption of professional sport, which is an ever running sewer. As uplifting as an enema.

    Their site is inacessable? Good! May they and their site both rot in obscurity.

    Coffee tastes like burning, It smells good though. Also, I couldn't stand to have coffee breath, rank is the nicest word I can use to describe it. Alchol is something I choose to live with out. Why?

    1. it is expensive, I can spend more money on something else like more computer or music equipment.

    2.Alcholism runs rampant in my family history. So why start down a bad path? Is there something worg with realizing that I would be better of if I didn't have a beer?

    3. Dancing? You obviously have you facts wrong. There is nothing wrong with dancing.

    As for the last comment, I suppose you are trying to imply that incest is somehow allowed and practiced? I am truely amazed by your ignorance.
