‘Huh, that was actually pretty cool,’ thought Julia Burns (21), as she observed an incredible athlete at their absolute prime (name unknown) who had trained their entire life to be at the Olympics perform a perplexingly difficult routine, during a commercial break of Australian Survivor.

In an intriguing insight into the human psyche, recent reports have revealed that the entire nation has collectively chosen to tune into a couple of dickheads squabble about their feelings and shit on a reality TV show rather than watch a group of elite athletes perform near-impossible stunts at the Winter Olympics.
Julia, like the rest of us, didn’t know until yesterday that the games were even on.
‘Huh, that actually was kinda impressive,’ she thought after accidently stumbling onto Channel 7 earlier this evening and catching a glimpse of some fairly skilled tricks and flips from some half- decent athletes.
But the jury is still out what’s more impressive: riding around in a luge sled at 160km/hr or having as good a pair of abs as Nathan from Season 3 of Too Hot To Handle.
Food for thought.
