Let’s all laugh at: The Olympics!

Tracy Wuster

Like all red-blooded Americans, I loves me some Olympics.  I will have a hard time getting work done over the next couple weeks with six stations of Olympics (+ streaming).  And the fact that my TV information calls it the “XXX Summer Olympics” makes it even better (in a 14-year old funny sort of way).  Speaking of TV, NBC quickly admits it is horrible and offers a solution.

Sochi 2014 (the Problem-Free Russian Winter Olympics):

*the Olympics have become the focal point of anti-Putin satire.

*the problems with venues and accommodations have spawned a twitter account (or two).

*Saturday Night Live on figure skating.

*Buddy Cole on Russia (from Colbert Report)

*political cartoons (do you see any themes?)
