Unemployed Again

Parade of Nations: AKA Global Fashion Show.

Love. It!

If only Matt Lauer would shut the fuck up.

Very Ameri-centric reportage: “I don’t know what that is because I’m American, and I don’t care to understand the British cultural reference, so I’ll say something banal/offensive/ignorant instead.”

In other words, very Romneyesque.

@SanFranLefty: I was blinded by the Cameroon dashikis, and haven’t been able to focus since.

@matador1015: Every four years, Americans get the very briefest of geography lessons.

@SanFranLefty: Don’t hold your breath.

I know they pay a gazillion for broadcast rights, but dressing up the American team as NBC pages is a bit much.

@nojo: I was blinded by the gargantuan RL Polo pony on the jackets.

The Brits looked like Abba impersonators with the gold lame and white jumpsuits.

@nojo:
Snark on: “The opening ceremonies also serve as a dumbed-down ‘Let’s Go’ guide for tubby American Midwesterners who are never gonna travel abroad.”

@SanFranLefty: It looked like “The Right Stuff: The Musical!”

I once did something similar in the Huntington green room.
