Geez. I just watched the Opening Ceremonies from last night which NBC apparently turned into a 5 hour show (I fast forwarded through the 22 million commercials) and the commentary was INANE. “I guess they think a Q is like a C here, in the Brazilian alphabet, [WHAT] so that’s why Qatar is going now...” Then they made…

“All over”

You might be one of those lucky folks who don’t listen to the radio much but pop’s been that way since at least the 80s in my experience.

Ugh, my woman brain isn’t interested in very many Olympic sports, but the ones it might watch (mostly swimming) will lose about 95% of their appeal if I already know who won. And I HATE that 85% of coverage has always been wading through life stories to get to the three seconds of edited action they deign to show.

I’ve been watching on the NBC sports app on the Fire Stick and it’s good but it cuts away to the exact same couple of commercials EVERY FUCKING TIME THE ACTION BREAKS. Even for like a five second break. I am developing a complete hatred for every product being advertised.

It’s what my mom used to call “wallpaper music.”

Just watched the men’s road race. It was exciting. Go Belgium! But even NBC’s online coverage has been sucky and full of interruptions. Better to use a vpn and watch it on bbc!

I held it together until the turtleneck. And “the 6" as spoken by Seth.

It’s what my mom used to call “wallpaper music.” Perfectly inoffensive but also utterly uninteresting.

Infinity meta!

This is so meta. It’s a corny Canadian who ironically danced liked a corny white dad being parodied by a corny Canadian.

Dude looks like he was chiseled out of granite. Add in his day job of working with disadvantaged children, his smile and yeah, wow.

The genius of the “WTF am I doing here” to “coy smile, hello...” is transcendent.

Now it’s official.

Vancouver I think is one of the few success stories.

Yes, at the time there was so much focus on the whole Obama lost it narrative.

Wow, I didn’t realize that was in 2010. I guess I haven’t been paying attention. Side note, I had a nightmare about bologna werewolves as a child that occurred in SLC as a child, so that one sticks out to me because of it.

Every other taekwondo competitor just quit.

yes I was just saying this the other day. but it makes too much sense

Seriously. It’s ends up being a massive loss for nearly every city that hosts. Harry Shearer does a great job of documenting all of the corruption on his weekly Le Show.
