What was that videogame, where if they caught you hacking, they wouldn't ban you, they'd just put you in lobbies with other hackers?
Imagine having an olympics where all the caught dopers compete against each other.
But they'd probably, like, die or some shit. I'll have to rethink this when I'm in my morning zone.
Northern Lights is a great strain yall
I don't care about the Olympics themselves (I think they're important, I am just not personally interested in catching more than highlights), but I would watch the shit out of the Dope Olympics. Dude on steroids and cocaine throwing a javelin ten miles? I'd pay to watch that.
Of course I'd also watch the Pitch-O-Mat 5000 fire balls at Wireless Joe Jackson, so I'm not anyone's target audience except possibly Futurama's from 20-odd years ago.

I'm all for it. However, the show was stolen by Dennis Miller's hair. It's a shame about him. I remember him mercilessly mocking pretty much every politician and being ever so slightly left leaning when I was a kid. The older he got the worse he got. He went from slightly left leaning, to calling himself libertarian while supporting neocon ideals, to whatever the hell happened a few years ago.
The modified howitzer?
Futurama is still running, as i found out last week.
It is! And the new ones are fine. I happen to be partial to the first few seasons.
One can say the first few seasons are very fine
Many games do that but GTA is easily the most popular/famous to do so. Though it hasn't done that in a long, long time, that is how it worked at launch. You also got a little dunce hat, so you knew you fucked up.
It would be highly unethical, but I do wonder how much faster you could go if you were allowed to take absolutely anything.
See somebody run 100m in 8 seconds before their heart explodes. Watch a man lift a whole car before he shits his entire digestive system out of his body.
Those are called the Enhanced Games.
Ugh, sponsored of course by Peter Thiel, the fascist transhumanist.

If they over-dope to compete in the dopers olympics and die as a result, that's not any different than driving without a seatbelt or motorcycling without a helmet and dying as a result. If you don't want to risk death you can just not be stupid.
True, I think a doping league is something we could try. We just have a year or 2 of ONLY doping league, then open the clean league and have 100 % controls. But not all doping is testable, currently..
That was GTA4
I like the idea of Dopelympics. Let everyone participating be fully aware they're in for the time of their (very short) lives
Northern Lights is a great strain. Man I miss smoking weed
I think that the problem there would be that so many eyes would follow a full on doping Olympics that that’s where the money would also go. And there’s no way you could spin that sort of league/competition to be amateurs only like the Olympics is so it would have to be professional which means the best athletes would go there because they’d fucking get paid
The Olympics haven't been amateur for at least 30 years. Not only do professionals compete, but the country olympic committees usually pay competitors for winning a medal.
Everyone who competes at these level is already doped
