anyone else think the luge death was a ploy by NBC to increase its ratings?

Don't forget what happened to Georgia over the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The Soviets proliferated our mainstream news stations in the 1950's and you won't see them gone any time soon.
 
Working in the news media, we wait to exploit things like this. We will milk it and milk it until the cow is dead (my editor use to say this). Like you have never slowed down when passing an accident on the highway? Yes, we all have that morbid streak in us and are curious. Yes, the networks will obviously be milking this as much as they can without seeming cold.

I don't think we have many of those posting. 😉

I've walked by the block they call P&N here and looked in the window a few times. The problem is not brain related. More like foot on the gas pedal but the selector is in park! :biggrin:
 
WOW I didn't even think about this!!

My uncle has a friend who works at NBC, and my uncle told me to keep an eye out on the luge event he heard (from his friend) it was going to be very interesting...

COINCIDENCE?!?

if you actually think the tragedy was staged, I have a bridge to sell you....

*eyeroll* of course the uncle would learn about the tragedy before it aired, word spreads fast on something newsworthy like a tragedy.

The track was known to be dangerous and too fast and people had been raising flags long before the tragedy. There is no coincidence. There are only people who lack all the information.

And suggesting it was staged is retarted.

This might the most stupidest and dumbest thread I have seen created here. What you are suggesting is totally inappropiate. And quite frankly something like this should be not just locked, but deleted.
 
I heard he chugged a beer right after the crash so they couldn't prove he was...

I can't even finish the joke it's just too wrong...
