XXX Summer Olympiad
*Gong*
The opening ceremony of the XXX Summer Olympiad is officially under way. I guess I know now why I've not heard any reference to these games using their roman numerals.

As I understand it, NBC has bowed to reality and is streaming or airing every event live, and will only repackage highlights of previously aired events at night. They will not in any way attempt to delay competition results or images, but will instead facilitate that for the first time in any Olympics. What's the problem??? |

I'm already oversaturated with Olympics talk and all I've seen is four tweets from friends. I'm going to watch ping pong and the blind archer and that may be it.
As for XXX, if we had Super Bowl XXX (and we did) then I think we could have Olympics XXX. But have any of them ever been referred to by their Roman numeral (hell, were the Rome games even referred to that way)? |

I would totally watch a Triple-X Olympics!
Gymnasts, swimmers, rowers... the mind swoons with erotic possibilities.  For the record, I enjoy watching the normal Olympics too. And no, not just for the hard-bodies.

If you want sex Olympics, have you seen the 1971 film Is There Sex After Death?

Yes thats fine for the competitions but they're not showing the opening live anywhere. Why can't they show it live on MSNBC or another one of their channels then replay at 7:30? I've already seen half of what happens in various posts from facebook/twitter from other timezones. I'm not one who cares if something was "spoiled" if I really didn't want to know I would stay away from places that have spoilers. But I would have liked watch it live, as I could have since no one else was at work today

Good luck stomaching Bob "Uncanny Valley" Costas nonstop chatter, Matt Lauer (Who I owe a personal kick in the balls, for besmirching my good name), and Ryan Seacrest. At least the BBC actually aired the entire ceremony.

Dear horrible Opening Ceremonies Announcers: Tim Berners-Lee is not the inventor of the Internet.

WTF?
Spoiler:
(Spoiler for you West Coasters that have not seen end entire ceremony yet) Rowan Atkinson was classy.
