Panda Porn
I've been watching the Olympics this week and have been greatly disturbed. Not only did I discover that the "live" broadcasts we're seeing are of events that occurred over an hour before (thanks for making me stay up past midnight to see who wins, NBC) but they kill the first hour with a man woman named "Mary" who has really random feel good China stories.Yesterday's story was about pandas. It started out okay but quickly degenerated when they showed the video zookeepers show to pandas to put them in the mood. Oh yes, they sunk to showing panda porn. Really? Is there nothing better to broadcast than this? How about the sports you never show during primetime? Like badminton or kayaking. I watched kayak at lunch the other day and it was certainly more interesting than frolicking pandas.
