What have I been doing for the past week? Oh, watching the Olympics maybe. I've also been working on a super-secret non-cosplay mission, but I can't tell you about that. Loose lips sink ships and all that jazz.
Anywho, with the Olympics coming towards the end, I figured I'd better comment before I miss my chance and have to wait another four years. (Disclaimer: These are my opinions, don't blame anyone else for them.)

Cycling: Did not have enough crashes to suit me. Would've been better if attack pandas had been lined up along the route to ambush the bikers.

Women's gymnastics: Guaranteed to make you a pedophile in ten minutes or less.

Men's gymnastics: Guaranteed to make you gay in ten minutes or less.

Track & Field: Made me discover I'm a little racist. :[

Water polo: I hated Blitzball then, I still hate it now.

Swimming: Made me proud to be an American, and sick of Michael Phelps, but strangely a fan of his mom.

Rowing/Skulling: Could've used more naval warfare. Rowing demolition derby, yeah!

Synchronized Diving: Team falling, seriously?

Synhronized Swimming: I don't know what was creepier, the spastic Cathy's-House choreography, or the drag queen war paint make-up.

Volleyball: Delicious.

Archery, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Canoe/Kayak, Cycling, Diving, Equestrian, Fencing, Field Hockey, Handball, Judo, Modern Pentathalon, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Sailing, Shooting, Soccer, Softball, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Trampoline, Triathlon, Weightlifting, Wrestling: Apparently NBC doesn't think I'd be interested in these events. Well, I'm sure they know best.


OVERALL: The Olympics should conducted classically. In other words, the athletes only wear loin clothes and oil. Mm-hmm, yeah. Then the viewers at home could participate in their own "events".
Yeah, I know you were thinking it too!

Stuff like this makes me wish the Olympics were shown on an On Demand sort of channel, where you can watch any event from any time of day, without commercials OR the obnoxious commentary given by those worthless critics in the news stands. Folks like me still haven't gotten to see the full opening ceremonies yet...

Bob Costas is a troll of a man. I despise both him and his sport coats. Try smarming your smarm on some other sports network, kthnxbie!
