Coming in second

For the entire time the olympics in Turin were on, U.S. TV stations were hyping how well the U.S. athletes were doing in terms of total medal counts. That’s not necessarily bad, but the way in which it was done – think drunk guy yelling: “We’re number ONE! YEAH!” and you get the idea –kept implying that the U.S. athletes just HAD to win because they were so much better, cooler, take your pick.

I mean, can you imagine anyone but the US of A get away with that? I certainly couldn’t imagine the German media pulling something like that. Well, other than that one time in in 1936.

That’s why I thought this was quite funny.
