Not that I know of. The NBC woman was in the stands with the athletes. Maybe someone has it on DVR and can get the exact wording?

"The NBC guys just announced that it’s important to know those kids were randomly picked from the countryside, and the state protects their future.
wtf?"
"Yeah. He said it was a source of pride for the people that they state is a guarantor of their future...as long as your not a girl baby, a second child, a Christian, etc. etc. etc."
When my 18 year old daughter heard that, she said, "Yeah, as long as your not going to be a baby girl!"... and I added or a Christian.

I heard her say something along the line of- the best part of the day was meeting Mr. President Bush, his wife, and his daughters.

that’s way cooler than the last olympics with all those people running around with balloons on their heads. I remember that! Somebody photoshopped John Kerry, in his blue sperm suit, with one of those balloons on his head. It was seamless :)

Man on the Moon by 2024, ha, we were there first in 1969!
Yeah, but we used a rocket. They're going to do it with a human pyramid!

This was an interpretative dance symbolizing the bird flu virus outbreak of 2005.LMAO!

It does. She’s a Brit, right?

Oh this is weird. It’s not alphabetical by nation. Chinese have no alphabet. It goes by number of ‘strokes’ in the country’s name.

400,000 pounds for that monstrosity. It would have been really cool...in 1984.
Reinds me of the mid 1970's "NBC" symbol "N" where they paid someone $500,000 to deign it only to find out that the Nebraska Educational TV system had one almost exactly like it and the designer was only paid a few dollars or none at all. Nebraska sued them for it and per agreement, NBC was allowed to use it but they put a peacock in front of the "N" and later phased the "N" out by the mid 1980's.

That thing is terrifying. Have you seen the 2010 Vancouver mascot? Most. Adorable. Mascots. EVER. They've got a sasquatch!
