You Needed To Stop Talking Thirty Seconds Ago

I don't know which one it was because like I keep those dudes' voices straight, and I'm not sure which country they were talking about--somewhere in the Middle East--but during the Parade of Nations one of the NBC announcer fuckwits said something about how this one country had its first two female athletes ever, and while I'm going, "OMG yay that's awesome," he continued to say something like, "Of course, the fact that they're the prime minister's daughters is purely coincidental."

...Yeah you know what announcer fuckwit? I don't actually care. Because they have two X chromosomes and maybe they pave the way for some other girl from that country to get to come to the Olympics one day. So if you're going to snark that it's just about nepotism then I hope you get herpes.

I fucking HATED the announcers. Amongst other condescending, dumbass comments were the ones about how "There is NO WAY IN HELL that [current person onscreen] will ever win a medal, so tonight is pretty much it for them in the Olympics." which they said like a BILLION times. And also when they were all "So and so was chosen flag bearer by text message vote... I'm SURE she didn't vote for herself a billion times."

Shut up and FUCK YOU.

Thank you, I needed to get that off my chest.

I hope one of the people they said doesn't stand a chance at the Olympics (which even so I bet they give more of a shit about actually getting to compete in their sport at the Olympics than about getting to stand around in the fucking heat for five hours) comes out of nowhere and beats the fuck out of MICHAEL PHELPS.

And then they can EAT IT.
