old beast lunatic: Nov 3, 2004; by Hand Knit

I suppose this is as good a time as any to bitch about how loving awful nbc's coverage of any olympics is. I just want to watch people get mauled by gravity. I don't care about some douche bag snowbaorder's smiling down syndrome brother by the fireplace back in Minnesota. gently caress you in your pink eye Bob Costas. Someone wake me up when I can pay-per-view the olympic village gently caress fest.

I agree. Turn that loving poo poo off and just show the athletes. I don't care if their family came thousands of miles, or that they have been into sport XYZ since they were a baby or any of that background poo poo.

It is boring and loving pointless and one of the reasons that the recent years of Olympic coverage has been so loving terrible.

The program directors just unilaterally deciding what parts to show us and what to leave out. I really hate that poo poo.

I think the Sydney Olympics were the last time I actually paid attention to any of the sporting event after the opening ceremonies. poo poo really started getting bad, in terms of fluff pieces, after Sydney.

At least in this case they have the excuse of being on edge because of the incredible accommodating sochi facilities.

The olympics are a relief actually because seeing Putin and Russia so thoroughly humiliated with no one to blame but themselves means we get to see where all that puffery about traditional russian values actually leads - rampant corruption and incompetence, with critics being bullied into silence, resulting in the entirely predictable disastrous outcome.

Angry people like me practically don't even have to do anything. The photos of toilet conference rooms, the stray dog convention, and winchester mansion staircases speak for themselves.
