NBC's horrid coverage of the Olympics is one of the reason I stopped watching.

I watched part of it. I couldn’t believe when I saw they were pushing global warming as part of the opening ceremonies.

Has liberal political correctness infected absolutely everything nowadays????

They even made Samba dancing with scantily clad women boring.

Russia did a great job with its Opening Ceremonies because for all its warts, especially political, Russian are proud of their country, culture and history.

The best part this year was Jim McKay’s commentary.

At least the Russians did not only a brief history lesson of their country, but a lesson on their alphabet.

Between the lib NBC pukes like Matt Lauer, the lecture on global warming, and endless parade of commercials, I fell asleep.

Second time in 4 years. The British did a “pc” presentation on their healthcare system.

The commercials which took up as much time as the actual opening ceremonies certainly didn't help.

Not to mention, they preempted Wheel Of Fortune.

No Vanna, no Olympics.

At least the Brits opened theirs with Queen Elizabeth and James Bond. That was pretty cool.

They needed "Getting Gay With Kids".


Doo-doo-doo, da-da-do-do-wow!
There's a place called the rainforest that truly sucks ass
Let's knock it all down and get rid of it fast
You say 'save the rainforest', but what do you know?
You've never been to the rainforest before!
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To tell you things you might not like to hear
You only fight these causes 'cos caring sells
All you activists can go ____ yourselves.

Someday if we work hard boys and girls..
There'll be no more rainforests left in the entire world..
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To spread the word, and bring you cheer
Getting Gay with Kids is here
Lets knock down the rainforest, whaddaya say?
Its totally gay, it's totally gay

For those who didn’t watch, here’s a brief synopsis:

In the beginning, Brazil was inhabited by happy indigenous people who were happily dancing around with green string....UNTIL the EVIL white man came from Europe and brought African slaves with them.

And the White man is the cause of all of the evils in the world, especially Climate Change.

Actually the commercials were better than the ceremonies, especially the AT&T “21 Minutes Without Internet” ads.

From the seconds of the Ceremony I saw on the news I think they forgot to turn on the lights
