3 million view Olympic slideshow

Such is the power of youtube and the Cliposphere that were there is no video then linked still photos will do the trick.

We don't like the concept much yet it shows how totally useless the internet has been for anyone who wants to see any 2008 Olympic action. A clear victory in itself in the eyes of those who want it to be that way.

Shocking images can often get real traction in the Cliposphere; this clip is no exception. With close to 3 million views the clip gets its high view count from:

a. shock value

b. using the Olympic name and

c. being "news" when there is a paucity of anything to look at when searching for Olympic video coverage (so this clip is bumped (into) frequently).

Odd that it's not even of a moment of Olympic glory that we see at the top in the Cliposphere this week but one of pain and not even a video clip at that.
