A New Office and Olympic protests?

Let me just get this off my chest before I go off on the people protesting the Olympic Torch in San Fran. The Office is new tonight and the episode had better not suck. I know that a bunch of the actors also write the show and they were very vocal during the strike (how did that work out by the way? Was it worth it? No? Didn't think so). And several of the show's main characters refused to work to support the writers (Dwight, and Steve Carrell in particular) All I have to say is, this episode had better be good. Don't throw a stinker out there because you spent all of your time picketing. Some of the writers were still working on scripts during the strike. I hope you guys were too. All I am saying.

Speaking of picketing and protesting....I saw where the Olympic Flame was brought to San Francisco, but because the Olympic Committee was afraid of protesting, the route was changed and it went down back roads and most of the people that took off work to watch the parade didn't get to see it. In fact the "closing" ceremony was held at the airport and no one really knew about it? If you are going to do that, then don't even have a "parade." If you are going to let protests ruin the route, then just cancel it. Do you not have police to protect the flame? And PS, isn't this kind of like flag-burning? It is just a flag, even though it is a symbol? Just because someone tries to throw water on the flame, does that mean the Olympic spirit is put out? No. Also, if you want to protest China for the entire Tibet thing, how is throwing water on an Olympic torch in San Francisco doing anything?
But I guess you were glad you hippies could hate on something besides Bush/Iraq for a few hours.
I think the planned protests (since the Olympic Committee basically let them win by moreorless cancelling the route/parade) ruined a great thing, the torch going through the World on the way to an event held once every four years. Way to ruin it for a 6 year old in San Francisco who will probably never have it return to her town. True in four years it will come back to America, but it will go to a different city/state. Good job you jerks. Way to ruin something for a child or dying person whose last wish was to see the flame, because YOU wanted to Free Tibet. Yeah, I bet the Chinese Gov't is thinking, "Hey maybe we should rethink our position on Tibet because people are protesting the flame in San Francisco and Paris. Hmmm."
Good job you jerks. The free concert hasn't worked yet, but this protest would? Doubt it. Get a grip. Or better yet. A job!
