The Olympics are coming up and as a Vietnamese person, I was always curious on how people from the homeland did in the games. And always, it was disappointing. In the history of the Olympics, guess how many medals Vietnam has won so far. Come on, guess. You won't have to guess too many times.

1 time. At the last Olympics in Sydney, a lady won a silver medal in Tae Kwon Do. Other than that, nothing to show. Soccer? Ranked 100th out of 205. Track and field? Might as well get into bobsledding. Are we good at anything else?

Then it all came into focus. Watching TV tonite, a commercial came on to tout the idea of having poker as an Olympic sport. While the description on the site makes the idea sound silly, there is a petition. With all the Vietnamese gamblers out there, you know who you are, and if this was an Olympic sport, I'm sure we'd double our medal total, at least.
