| London 2012 |
I realize everyone will be talking about the opening
ceremonies of the Olympics in London pretty much everywhere. So I decided I’m
going to conform with the masses for once. But I don’t want to talk about how
hideous most of the uniforms were for most of the teams or how weird the
opening ceremonies were (that really big baby was just creepy). And I don’t
want to talk about why NBC failed to start the coverage at the actual time of coverage and show it on
the east coast of the US because I don’t care about that and if anyone really
does, they should seriously get a life. I especially don’t want to talk about
the Queen and her complete lack of emotion or how the USA Girls Volleyball team
has been stalking Prince Harry. Or Mr. Bean. Ugh.
I guess that pretty much sums it up…oh, wait, there is
one more set of folks I’ve failed to mention: The Commentators—Matt Lauer, Bob
Costas, and Meredith Viera. Who else wanted to mute their television sets due to
these three stooges not knowing how to pronounce almost every country and their
lame Olympic histories…and singing? I’m pretty sure at one point Meredith Viera
was singing along with the Rolling Stones. And then there’s the time she said
the “money shot” of the night was the Queen. Really Meredith? The money shot?
How about when Matt Lauer said (and I’m paraphrasing here), the vast number of
athletes here won’t win a medal. Thanks Sherlock; I’m sure your next job can be
motivational speaker. Other than Bob Costas not telling these two douche canoes
to shut the fuck up and his awful pronunciations, I really didn’t have too much
of a problem with him. He’s an old man, though, but he’s no Dick Clark—I can’t
see Bob doing this until he’s 82.
