eaten by the shark

Today, the “is-this-really-necessary” and “w-t-f” combine to bring you this story from the CSM about the Olympic torch to scale Everest.

I really have no comment on this, except to say that the Olympics wanted to jump the shark, but fell in and got torn to bloody bits instead.

Schadenfreude is a sign of moral weakness, and I would never wish ill-thoughts on fellow climbers, but I really hope that torch gets blown off the mountain and falls into a crevasse.
