Olympic Flame Extinguished in Paris

Damn that Dalai Lama and his Buddofascist gang of extremist thugs. The integrity of the Olympics must not be breached. Tibet must be punished.

Steroid sales could plummet. Imagine the lost revenue in cheesy chatchkas alone. NBC's Summer programming schedules could be disrupted. Bruce Jennings might not be able to keep those Armenian girls in Armani's.

So, what's the procedure? Do they have to go back to the Fields of Marathon and start over again? Can they take a different route this time? Could they just use a torch with cellophane flames lit up by a little bulb and a couple of AAA batteries? I bet if they let naked girls carry the torch, nobody would give a shit if it was lit or not.

Boy, they are trying to run the torch thru San Francisco right now at some
"secret" route to avoid all the "Free Tibet" and "Free Burma" protesters. They have mobilized ALL the SFPD along the route, so I am guessing they will run along the Embarcadero since Mayor Newsome is down there.

Does it really matter about a torch? The Chinese don't care about a motley group of protesters.
