Topic: Formula 1 - a Great Waste of Time Posted: 17-Mar-2007 at 04:30 |
Mindless car (sickness), stupidity in a circle, wasting fossil fuel. Millions of spend for a gruesome spectacle, that will start again this weekend in Melbourne (Australia)
The only possitive aspect is this, that i always fall asleep if i watch this crap at TV.

I have been hearing the revving and racing past my window all day as I was studying today.
It may not benefit you, and I couldn't care less about a bunch of cars
going round in circles, but the event is making our city money.

Oh PoinDexter...
Don't be so Jealous... maybe one day Iceland will get a F1 Race too.
Gargoyle quite enjoys watching as you put it... "Mindless car (sickness), stupidity in a circle, wasting fossil fuel. Millions of spend for a gruesome spectacle, that will start again this weekend in Melbourne (Australia)".
Would you preffer to watch World Championship Knitting???... PoinDexter???...
or...
Perhaps you would rather pay to watch 2 Teams of Sweaty Young Men in shorts, running around on a Grass Field, Trying very hard (often in Vain) to pointlessly Kick a Ball into a Net... Then, by some miracle, if one team finally manages to Kick the Ball into the Net, they Jump around like Idiots (sickness) Hugging & Touching each other in an often Homo-Erotic Fashion! And to top it all off these men get paid alot of $$$$$ to do so! (sickness)
Gargoyle enjoys watching a wide variety of Sports... One of my favourites is Womens Beach Volleyball!

Who is taking the bait Gargoyle
Oh - and you totally forgot to mention the artistic impression when those sweaty young men is diving and performing an act of "close to death" expressions, only paralleled by the finest Shakespearian actors.

I am a big fan of Formula one Racing.
For me is important a fellow Brazilian, South American, or Spanish driver win everyone else in the most important car competion worldwide.
It shows clearly we are number one in many fields

Most phillistines I know call rugby football, not soccer. And they are most definitely into cars.

For me, the emotion of these last years was watching if Schummaher was going to lost the race . I remember how I expected he blow up a tire or the team make a mistake at the boxs so he couldn't continue the race...
I was a big fan of Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian car racer, and I always suspected Schummaher has something to do with that. I wanted that guy lost. Unfortunatelly most of the time he won .
The emotion was quite high in seeing up to he smallest detail of each race.

Formula 1 is far more interesting than NASCAR .
BTW, what is the fave sport in Iceland? Snow soccer or ice wrestling?

Well, Ulrich, I have to agree. I am sorry but I have to say it: mFormula 1 is a lot more exciting that the dog's races of the Inuit in Greenland!

One of the most exciting games to watch on TV has to be Lawn Bowls.

Interesting you should say that Omar, it actually isn't that bad to watch! As for F1, used to like it, but I am over it now. Wouldn't mind -as someone earlier said- to be in one though!
