USA! USA! USA! USA!
But while Olympics glory is up for grabs, a shipping company in Skokie, Ill., has pushed the stakes even higher:
"Loser Keeps Bieber" reads the electronic billboard hanging on the headquarters of Command Transportation.
That would be Justin Bieber, of course, the nearly 20-year-old Canadian pop star who's become something of a bad boy in recent months with an arrest for allegedly driving while drunk and a charge of assaulting a limousine driver.
Judging from Command Transportation's Twitter page, the company likes to use its billboard to poke fun at politicians, celebrities, athletes and sports teams that Chicago fans love to hate. Its newest message, though, has really hit home with many: #LoserKeepsBieber has been trending on Twitter.

When Canadian kids learn to play hockey, they go all out. They don't have to worry about hurting themselves and getting huge hospital bills like our kids do.

Eventually they'll strip that away from them...
