Feel free to shoot me, but I think the Sprint commercials with the kids about the overtime minutes are hilarious.I’ve been watchcing the Olympics for six straight hours now, but feel no shame because it doesn’t really feel like TV. Today’s obsession is how absolutely gorgeous all of the athletes are. Seriously, with all of them - even if the face isn’t great, the body is so perfect that you kind of just stare. And gape. And snack on sugary cereal.

I have noticed, particularly during women’s volleyball, that they do a lot more closeups of the prettiest two players on the court than the “stars” of the teams. Sometimes the cameras just follow them around for no reason. This was even more obnoxious during women’s synchronized diving. They showed this beautiful German girl on every dive even though she came in close to last place. The seemingly unnecessary “rinse off” shower portion after every dive of hers was especially gratuitous.

I guess this isn’t wrong. Anyone who makes it to the Olympics has a right to be on TV, and personally I’d rather watch nicer-looking people than ugly people. I feel horrible admitting that. On normal TV, there’s none of this guilt because everyone in every show is aesthetically close to perfect. The Olympics can’t screen like that.

Wait for the profoundness. It’s coming. It’s so close.

The Olympics are like the epitome of democracy. And they’re in ATHENS! Democracy’s BIRTHPLACE! It’s, like, all coming together! Like.
