Giving Context To The Comedy Of The Vancouver Olympics
“So I can’t say Olympics, or Vancouver, or winter or show geometric shapes of any size or color?”
“These are not sports, these are drunken dares. Hey go down that hill on a sled. Oh, now try it on two sticks. Now do it with a rifle. I mean, you’re over thinking it.”
“NBC is not a victim. The ratings are tremendous. How are they losing money?.”
( Jon Stewart: 2/24/10)
“Folks, I love the Olympics. There is no finer way to prove who’s nation is best, and in this global confrontation America is kicking ass and mispronouncing names! USA! USA! USA!.”
“American Idol last night beat the Winter Olympics in the ratings, in fact I think it doubled the Olympics’ ratings. We got the most highly trained athletes in the world competing on behalf of their countries. We’d still rather watch a bartender from Ft. Worth struggle through a Matchbox 20 song. That’s America!”
“It’s all the excitement of shuffleboard plus household chores.”
