My husband is VERY concerned about the Olympics this year
he says it looks like it might be a good deal, but he's afraid they'll just be a cheap knock off of the real Olympics and he'll be disappointed in the quality

his other concern is if they are being sponsored by WalMart



















:rofl:

1. I'm more worried about the lead based paint that might be used
to paint the medals that are made of cheap scrap medal and painted :P

2. exactly! lead medals painted with lead based gold paint and you know the worse part?
turn it over and it's stamped "Made in China"

how's that for a status symbol? I think not!
