As a follow on to yesterday's olympic fringe freak commentary I decided to look closer at the medal winner tallies. The total medal count went something like US - 103, Russia - 92, China - 63, Austraila - 49 and Germany - 48. At first blush it appears the US kicked some serious freak ass. But wait. Let's play nerd and normalize the medal count on a per capita basis. The numbers now look like US - .4 medals per million people, Russia - .6, China - .05, Austraila - 2.5, and Germany - .6. Holy crap, we got soundly trounced!! Austraila had over 5 times the medal production rate than the US. In fact, of the top 11 medal producers we only beat China and Japan, two Asian countries where the average height is less than a bar stool and average weight is 137 lbs soaked in soy sauce. Interestingly, Cuba matched Austraila's freak rate. We got our marshmallow butts handed to us by a geriatric dictator and a continent of former inmates. We look pee poor on the freak fringe scale. It's time for some major American mutations. Come on America it's time to freak out!! BTW, was I the only American routing aganst the US b-ball team - what a freak show!
