The Olympics captivate the world unlike most other events. They challenge us to be better Americans, better teammates, and better citizens of the world. Above all they stand for peace and humility in a world that at times is overshadowed by darkness and hate.
Oh enough of that poetic crap...here are the top 5 things that are annoying me about the Olympics thus far...
1. The Opening Ceremony
We get it you are British. Well poppycock! Look at these pictures of hills, cliffs, and thatched roofs. Frankly I was not impressed by the ceremony. I know China is hard to beat after the robotic precision that was displayed in 2008, but I think this ceremony justified why we dropped your asses in 1776 or is that arses? Oh, and yes Queen Elizabeth it wouldn't hurt you to smile. Girl lighten up!
2. This B With the Huge Microphone
We all have seen her... I personally like to call her the "dream killer." She always likes to throw it in the swimmer's face when they haven't achieved gold. "So Michael can you tell me what was going through your mind when you lost?" or "Ryan, you did very well last night, what went wrong tonight?" I'm just waiting for the night she pisses off the wrong American swimmer and they knock that gigantic microphone out of her wrist.
3. This Russian Diva
I don't remember her name I think it' s Maria or Katianna or Putin or something. Anyways, dang this girl has an attitude on her. I'm not fluent in Russian, but I know a good eye roll when I see one and well if they gave away medals for that....winner, winner chicken dinner!
4. Glitter...Need I Say More?
So I guess the Russian women got confused and thought they were going to prom. Maybe it's a similar word to London in Russian, who knows? Just stick to the chalky hands ladies, your slicked back fairy-dusted hair-dos are not flattering.
5. This Dynamic Duo
Ok you all have been thinking it this past week as you have been watching the swimming events. These two love birds sit literally millimeters apart and gaze into each others' eyes as they talk about strokes......I mean welcome back to the London Olympics! All I know is these two need to get a room or learn about their personal bubbles. Plus if you haven't noticed it yet, you will tonight and it's almost more awkward when they are standing...
