A Word on Western Olympic Coverage...

The interesting thing about the Vancouver 2010 Olympic coverage being broadcasted on two national channels that lay next to each other (the Canadian CTV and American NBC networks) is that if you cannot put up with some of the over-optimistic and absurdly proud Canadian commentators yapping during every medal contenders strive at the Olympics, then you can quickly change it over to your grim-ridden, nihilistic America brothers of coverage who have nothing positive to say until another American athelete wins a medal.

It is embarrassing for whichever side of the border you happen to have been born on.. but at least the athlete's performaces inspire everyone positively despite the unfortunate use of unnecessary language.
