Overheard At The Olympics(Paraphrased)

Announcer Bitch: Now here comes our next skier, representing China.

Announcer Douche: Boy, all of this snow must remind him of a bowl of rice.

I don’t remember who, or when, or what station, because normally the Olympics appeals to my interests just slightly less than detailed write-ups of the tax benefits for fake vomit companies. Maybe I just imagined it. But I could swear this is an actual thing that was said. On international television during one of the most-watched events in the world. By a Canadian.

No, really.

I am going to avoid the rest of the events, for fear of what vile word-sludge will seep out of their jaws next. Can you imagine what their response would be to a black contestant at the top of the hill?

Announcer Bitch: “…representing Kenya.”

Announcer Douche: “Boy, all of this snow must remind him of the cotton fields, BECAUSE 1950′S-ERA RACIALLY INSENSITIVITY IN 2010 IS OKAY, RIGHT????”
