Bob and Katie, STFU 

Watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics tonight, and they were great except for one thing. Bob Kostas and Katie Couric would not shut the fuck up. If it weren't for their banal, stupid, vapid chatter, the event would have been enjoyable. But please, tell me, what is it with this compulsion of American media commentators to yammer mindlessly? If they dared to do this during a movie, I'd slap them both upside the head.

Hey, guys, guess what -- I figured out who was what and what all those parade float characters were supposed to be, and I would have actually liked to have heard the opening speeches in Greek, French and English, with subtitles. But no. You had to blather on, just because you love to hear yourselves talk.

And you wonder why the rest of the world hates America?
