Please end this pain soon

So today I thought I will read up a little on the Commonwealth Games, update myself on what's been happening results-wise. Well the first few headlines are focused only on how big a screw-up the whole thing is. This is the first search result.

Used condoms block drains at Delhi Commonwealth Games, which apparently has the Games chief Mike Fennell happy that so many of the 7000 competitors at the athletes’ village were being careful.

Organisers are clueless on where the Commonwealth Games tickets have gone, with large-scale hoarding seeming to be the only explanation. On one hand, a majority of seats at various Commonwealth Games stadia are lying vacant. On the other, people are not getting tickets through the internet, at the CWG headquarters or at kiosks. Why are there empty stadia even though people are hankering for tickets?

Swimmers sick at Games, organisers say water is all right. Of course they do. I hope they can continue to claim this even after the test is done on the water.

Everyone it seems is unhappy with the games.

The only good thing which can come out of this is if India get the 2nd rank and a 100 medals, as was their target. Though England and Canada are catching up pretty fast.
