Despite all these issues, the Vancouver games will likely have dozens, perhaps hundreds, of viewers. If you’re among those who are new to the winter games, however, I should explain that these Olympics consist primarily of three types of events: traditional cold-weather sports (hockey, skiing, speed skating), activities that most likely originated as drunken fraternity dares (ski jump, luge, naked ice beer pong) and sports that would more accurately be termed “non-sports” (figure skating, ice dancing, curling). And before crazed fans of figure skating and curling begin firing off a lot of angry emails, let me point out that I won’t read them, so don’t bother.
I mean, come on, figure skating a sport? Not as long as the medal winners are chosen by judges who are easier to pay off than a Tijuana strip club doorman. And curling? Sorry, but I refuse to recognize any Olympic event involving brooms as long as the IOC continues to reject demands to accept Quidditch as a medal sport.

Admit it, you’re just a little curious about what goes on at Wicked, the on-premise swingers club that had the chutzpah to move the Lifestyle out of Mississauga and plunk it down in the middle of an area lousy with hipster clubs, art galleries and cafés.
Wicked is one of a couple of on-premise sex clubs in Toronto’s downtown core and is also, in the parlance co-opted with unintentional irony by such venues, the classiest one. By this I mean it provides decadence on a petit bourgeois scale – nothing truly palatial, but a grasping nod to it.
Downstairs you can flirt, dance, break your skull open on the stripper poles and have the worst dry martini in town. Membership is required upstairs, where all bets and street clothes are off. The lighting is compassionate, the stations making token references to international erotic cultures: a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a Bedouin tent for group play, a mirrored room, a dungeon, rooms both semi-private and private, glory holes and sex furniture.
