 Beijing, China – After several  athlete assimilations, the International Olympic Committee is  rethinking their decision to include the Borg in the 2008 Olympic  games, and may ban the aliens from competition in the 2012 games in  London.  "The Olympics are about bringing  people together, so we're always looking to include as many nations  as possible.  When the Borg applied for these Olympics, we thought it  would be great to broaden the Olympics appeal outside this planet,"  said Olympic guy bob bobson.  "Maybe we should've thought about  it a little more."
 Many athletes felt it was unfair to  include cyborg beings in the games. Swimmer Michael Phelps said,  "IWearing a specialized swimsuit to make you go faster is a  little different than developing a jet propulsion device for speeding  through the water.  The Borg say it's part of their bodies, so it's  fair, but I say it's cheating." The representative for the Borg said,  “Resistance is futile.  Prepare to be assimilated. This  assimilation brought to you by Visa.” Until the Olympic competition committee  makes a decision the Borg will be able to compete.  So far, the Borg  have swept the medals in fencing after assimilating the Uzbeki team  who fought valiantly to avoid becoming part of the collective.   Badminton squads also fell victim to the Borg collective. It's expected the Borg will win all the  Olympic medals then assimilate the rest of the planet except for  Cleveland, Ohio. Due to tape delay most citizens in the  US will be assimilated before seeing any of the coverage on NBC.   |
