The Olympic Torch Shaped Like a Joint

By now most of us have seen the new torch that will be ran through out Canada. I think that it was purposely created by the designers, because lets think of Phelps the God in swimming sucking on a bong. That brought a lot of publicity to him, and since people relate him to the Olympics people became interested (yes, even though it was already over).

The designers probably thought “If he can do it we can too,” so imagine the people who smoke the weed see the torch being carried into that stadium they’ll think things like “Dude, this looks cool even the fire torch is cool, dude lets go bob sledding.”

Although most experts disagree with the coincidence of the torch being shaped like a joint it is hard not to see it and be rather amazed and curious. Things like this seem to happen more and more trying to draw publicity to themselves. And as most people know Vancouver needs all the help they can get as they are struggling with the Olympics because they have no snow. I laugh at the irony of that because it is the winter Olympics and snow seems like it should be apart of everything. Nope, artificial snow is being shipped in by the truck full.

The plan actually was to create a modern version of the beauty of ski’s marks on the “lush beautiful Canadian snow.”

The designers say they in no way meant to show that people would take it in the way that this looks like a joint. But I know myself, and others who beg to differ. In my opinion I feel like they did this on purpose so they could have a more broad range of people watching. And now that they are stirring up controversy, people will watch the opening ceremony just to see the torch, which all boils down to in the end, more money for Vancouver and Canada.
