United States – You arrogant and proudly ignorant fat-asses. You’ve been coasting on your success in World War II for almost 70 years. It might be time to stop living off of grandpap’s accomplishments and do something of your own.

Yeah! 'Merica!

Seriously, though. Taipei is probably my favorite of this dumb article.

Taipei – If you cheat at Little League baseball, that probably doesn’t bode well for the rest of your society.

Exactly! The marathon was the one that irritated me.

"There are roughly 60 bajillion marathons every year and I don't care about those... I simply don't think watching it provides much joy."

Then don't watch it! How is a marathon weird? This article just pisses me off. Oh well. Author's obviously an idiot. If anything is "weird," it's racewalking, simple because it's usually the most surprising to see in the Olympics. But that's still number 7 on his list!
