I think it's kind of insulting that these games aren't televised. Why wouldn't there be as many thrills and excitement as in the "regular" Olympics? Personally, I think it would be more amazing to see a handicapped swimmer win a gold medal than some pumped-up "normal" android (or whatever the hell Phelps is). Oh, well.

It'll be cool if they become the bionic olympics and they start beating the regular olympic records.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm embarrassed to admit that I hadn't even heard of the Paralympics before this. As others commented on the Boston Globe website, this has received very little media coverage, and that's a shame.
