Curling? C'mon!

When did Curling become an Olympic sport?
Surely there are more noteworthy winter sports than this ... bowling for manic cleaners.

Apparently, it became a full medal event with the 1998 Nagano Olympics.

Wait -- it all makes sense now. The Japanese will watch anything on TV. The Olympic committee must have thought that since Curling was well received at Nagano, it's an Olympic medal event.

Keep this up and the Olympics are going to look less like a sport competition and more like the Guinness Book of World Records.
