Comments: olympics in dundas

Is it just me or almost nobody is watching the games? Was it like that all the time?

i like how it's so complicated and there's so much going on.

I like how that Rogers PVR ad is on the jumbotron - looks like the fencers are sitting on a ledge in the background...

Am I to assume that bike is yours?

I'm going to have to move to Toronto -- what a great place --

Nice image.. The bike adds to the frame -- I crack up with I see those reflector thingys in the spokes -- I'm so vain, I removed mine...

Nobody's watching the games at the moment because that's a commercial. And a relatively funny one at that.

maybe you should assist the cyclist just out of frame, with the cracked skull.

Its a nice photo. Its just sad that people go to a public square and sit and watch TV. Usually squares are for people watching and the joy of being outside, but Yonge-Dundas Sq. is just one big fat commercial zone. A shame cuz the intersection is an important one in this city.

Is that woman's face on a billboard?? (to the left of the screen with the fencing athletes on it) - kind of looks strange there like a "where's waldo" =^)

It seems there is a force in the administration of City of Tontonto to make Toronto look alike NYC. Is Dundus square going to be the Time square of Toronto? (Like Bay st., a small and funny model of Wall st., or the ice skating arena in Yonge and Queen in winters looks just like the one in the edge of Central Park of NYC)

I think this shot would have worked even better with a tight crop on the two screens. I really like how the far right head on the lower screen appears to be watching the hurdles event on the upper screen. In fact, at first glance I thought that's what was happening, so much that the rest of the scene was distracting for me.
