How do you not know this is a dumbass move?

[Texas___Fight]

Really?

I don't think it is so bad. He probably should have waited until after the Olympics was over, but it is his medal to do with what he wants. He was probably tanked, caught up in the moment and trying to score.

I don't think this paints the best portrait of our US Olympians. He ended up leaving Vancouver after this got out.

i have abs like that

Who cares what image it portrays. No one cares about Olympic athletes.

What does this have to do with CURLING?

Does a 10 pound bag of flour make a really big biscuit?

He was asked to leave Vancouver, which he did...embarrassed, to say the least.

Personally, I don't think it is a big deal, but it wasn't smart knowing there were friend's digital cameras there. This sheds light on the "friend" who took the photo just like the bong pic of Michael Phelps. Those are the kinds of "friends" you need to stop having around at your parties.

Of course it's not that bad...but it's the Oympics. Just wait til you get home or something man. You HAVE to know, if you have a lick of sense, that this isn't going to go over well.

 

[LITNIN HORN]

A "lick of sense" is not what he got.

 

[Pogo]

Just wait until the photos come out (no pun intended) of Johnny Weir kissing Evan Lysacek's medal like that.

 

[Statalyzer]

People are WAY to uptight.

Spoiler alert:

Olympic athletes have sex.

End of spoilers.

I'm guessing that's why he was sent home.THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIANS ASSOCIATION

The mission of the United States Olympians Association is to create and implement programs that will integrate Olympians into every facet of the Olympic Movement. In support of the goals of the United States Olympic Committee, U.S. Olympians strive to foster the spirit of Olympism in each community, to motivate and encourage youth and to develop camaraderie among those who have shared the unique experience of representing their nation at the Olympic Games.

I'm pretty sure that's not what McDonalds had in mind when they asked him to display the golden arches proudly.
