the olympics

Jul 20, 2006 10:28

I just have to say this... because it's been bothering me for a while. I can't stand Shaun White. He's been parading his stupid snowboarding medal around daytime television since the stupid olympics. (hasn't it been a year now? I don't keep track of those things) It wasn't until he went on Martha that I realized that snowboarding was even part of the olympics. Maybe I found out before... who knows... but I was shocked when I found out for the second time.

I don't like his stupid hair, I don't like his stupid HP commercials, and most of all, I don't like the way he does that stoner giggle through everything he says. "huh huh yehuh it's been a popular huh year for gold huh huh."

The Olympics were organized by meatheads and they're still carried out by meatheads. But that's not the reason why I hate them, I hate them because nothing happens. They're absolutely boring, and most of the events are over so quickly, the majority of the telecast is prep and aftermath. (It's like watching the Kentucky Derby for all of five seconds. You don't want to miss it so you tune in for the ENTIRE hour.) Yet, when I mention people react as if they were appauled. I hate basketball too, but I don't get that condescending look when I say I hate that!

Point is, the Olympics have been the world's reality tv long before the invention of survivor. It's something I'm going to have to avoid for the rest of my life... thank god we're not in Sweden where there's only four channels, and probably all of them are showing the olympics.
