Linders Back,

I'll show my age right along with you. I remember the event and all the news coverage that followed.

VERY odd. It was published this date. So it wasn't Cyndog's fault.

Cyndog, Nikita and I forgive you. Honest mistake. (He's actually demo-ing the next Clarks TSV. So durable yet fashionable! )

I remember Kruschev very well. Terrifying times.

It is odd. I looked at the date and thought it was currently happening.

Re: Russian Olympic Commentators Very Rude

It is not odd it goes with the propaganda against Russia and is a typical stereotype of how much is not known about the country or it's people.

That is Nikita Khrushchev btw and regardless of one's age it is called knowing your history. Not very hard.

As for the insults at any Olympic event the US has done it's share about eastern european athletes for years. Laughable that we should be offended now when it may or may not be done in return to the US and western States.
