Once again, I managed to completely avoid the Olympics. Oops. From what I read about them, it appears that everyone had a smashing good time. Well, except for us. All we hear about is how the stars failed, how we didn't win every medal, how much these sports aren't exciting, how we don't care about them, how bad the ratings are, how the games aren't played at a reasonable time for us. This despite the fact we actually came in 2nd in medals. Or won a bunch of people won who weren't Bode, Michelle, Sasha, or Johnny. In fact, after perusing the channels, all I heard was how much the Olympics suck, how thankful people are that they're over, and what needs to be done to make them better. Because, damnit, if we're not entertained or win every medal or have our stars win or have the sports played at an hour not condusive to our viewing habits, it has to suck.

Which proves once again that we as a nation are a bunch of Jackasses.
