Couldn't we have got somebody a little better than steroid freak Arnold Schwarzenegger to carry ...

[NNN0LHI]

... the Olympic Torch in Canada. I am sure we could have found a better representative to do the honors. What do you think?

1. How did he get selected anyhow?

Was he ever in the Olympics? :shrug:

5. He's friends with the premier

Apparently they invited him.

2. I would just as soon have had plastic

faced Bruce Jenner.

3. Well, I don't know . . .

. . . it seems to me that there's something appropriate about having a steroid user carry the Olympic Torch.

4. So the day after they kick out 30+ athletes for dirty tests...

...they let a walking fucking steroid carry the torch?

Nice one, Olympic Dudes. Nice one.

6. Premier Campbell asked him to.

They are good friends.

7. It's all about who you know

Being asked to carry the torch may be an honour, but it's also about having friends in the right places. Schwarzenegger is a strange choice, but apparently he's friends with the premier, who invited him to carry it.
