Most. Depressing. Olympics. Ever.

Seriously, what’s up with NBC’s commentary on the Olympics? They can’t seem to make it through a description of an athlete or an event without invoking the macabre. Deaths in the family. Mothers on dialysis. Heinous war crimes. I thought this was supposed to be a happy event – instead, it’s like spending two weeks with relative that’s constantly reminding you about how bad they had it when they were a kid.

If I want that kind of grief, I’ll watch the news.
