Hmmm.
* Great job with your new ad, Budweiser...stealing it from some cell phone company. (Obviously the cell phone ad worked on me cause I don't remember what company it is.) You know the commercial - where everything looks like it has the shape of the Budweiser crown. It is so identical to the cell phone commercial where everything looks like the signal bars, that it's insane. For a company that usually specializes in cool, original ads, Budweiser fell way short on this one.* NBC may have the worst Olympic coverage ads ever. I noticed this during the opening ceremonies. They have these annoucements that they do about what is coming up and what NBC station you can see it on. But it's not like they tell you about a couple of events and make it seem great. They just list this endless line-up of upcoming events and what station they are on. So you can't remember it, nor do you pay attention. It's like a mini-show in and of itself. Chill out and focus on one event at a time so that we know what to look for!
* Does anyone else find it ironic that the only American Olympian who has won a gold medal so far just picked up his sport after the last games...less than 4 years ago!? All of these other guys spend their entire lives training and preparing and honing their craft, and this guy comes in 3.5 years ago and takes over. There's hope for me to medal in curling someday!!! I really think I can do it!!
* I really don't understand how snowboarding became an Olympic sport and they are going to get rid of baseball from the summer games. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Any sport where you can wear your pajamas to compete and look dressed up should not be on the Olympic stage. Also, for some reason these snowboarders are wearing this extremely baggy heavy winter garb...how can you compete in an Olympic sport with your pants falling down and showing your boxers???? And then they show the families watching, and they just have jeans and long sleeve shirts on. I don't know what is stranger - the athletes dressing for the Artic and the spectators wearing so little, or the idea that every time I see a shot of people at the winter games I never see the spectators wearing hats and winter clothes - but all of the athletes are trying to make it look like it's so cold that Santa will bring hot chocolate over. Was Italy really the best place to pick for the winter games, after all??
