Olympic Mania

It was a random wandering on the web. I was pulled into some news article, which led me to a overview of the olympics, which had an article about Shawn Johnson, which made me wonder how old she was, which took me to some chat board. Here is the freakish american obsession I encountered on just the first page of comments regarding this young gymnist: UUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEE BBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSTTTTTTT UR SMILE IS THE BEST:) UUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SSSSSOOOOOCCCCCCOOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So extremely strange...and perhaps now I know what kind of fan mail the New Kids were getting so many years ago.
