Why The Office is Reality TV

I know what you're thinking.

Oh, great. Another comparison to a television show I haven't watched in months...

But this latest comparison is a gift I feel compelled to share.

I just received an email:

This Friday August 8th 2008 marks the beginning of the Beijing Olympics. A time when the world comes together regardless of color, language and race to celebrate the Olympic spirit of Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dreams.

To celebrate the spirit of the games, we are holding an Olympics of our very own.
Join us on Wednesday August 20th for a series of competitions starting at 1 PM. Gold, Silver and Bronze prizes will be awarded at the end of the games! More information coming soon!!!

Games include:
0 Golf putting challenge
0 Wiffle ball toss
0 Treasure chest grab
0 Paper airplane throw
0 Ping pong ball toss

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
It might not be flonkerton, but it's close.
Wanna see how close?
Here's an article from wikipedia.
