So, I’m trying to enjoy the opening ceremonies of the Olympics tonight. I’m trying (trying) to see beyond the rampant commercialization and enjoy it in the noble spirit it was intended. But whenever it gets interesting, when a nice number starts with the dancing and the singing and the music and the lasers, can I hear it?

No!

Why? Because Bob Costas and Katie Couric think we tuned in for them! Because they think they’re more interesting than Bjork! Bob, Katie! Quit yapping! We’re trying to watch the show!

Sheesh.
