I was wondering if anyone else had seen that scene and been as
incensed as I was at NBC's lack of compassion ( putting it mildly.) I
found myself actually yelling at the television. I just couldn't
believe the network would take advantage of this lady's misfortune.
Purely trashy and low class.

People might ask us why we don't gripe to NBC about it. That would have the
same effect as answering a piece of SPAM with a request to be removed from
the list. Yeah, right.

Glad you feel the same way.

Unless I miss my guess it was a pool camerman anyway.

Don't know if you were making a play on words. If so - ))

If not - NBC aired it - the bucks stops there.

Impaler. It would be poetic justice to see Ted Nugent shove a microphone
in
their face as Vlad rammed a splintered timber up their arse, "Tell us what
you're feeling right now, will ya'?"



Personally, though, I think the US men's basketball team deserves all the
humiliation that can be heaped on it. Bunch of pathetic, tattooed,
trash-talking, arrogant, spoiled millionaire, gangsta wannabe losers..... I
don't think you could find anywhere a set of worse excuses for humanity to
represent the United States. Well, maybe some Abu Ghraib prison guards....
Or Jerry Springer.... But wait, all those guys looked, talked, and acted
like they might be guests on Springer, so I guess that's redundant.



Yes, even though I hate to see my country lose, these folks got just
what they deserved. Maybe we'll get a competent team next time around.
One than can play better than they can talk.

This callous disregard for fellow humans is just another example of NBC's
integrity; following on the heels of the St. Louis helicopter hijack
attempt
story, the Chevy truck fuel tank fiasco and others. I hope that when these
people pass on, they get to spend a few years in a paradise with Vlad the
Impaler. It would be poetic justice to see Ted Nugent shove a microphone in
their face as Vlad rammed a splintered timber up their arse, "Tell us what
you're feeling right now, will ya'?"

Neal,

I have a harder time believing that you are surprised by it. It should open
your eyes to more of the actions of an ever increasing trashy and low class
media.

We should pull the team from the college ranks, not the professional ranks to
begin with.

Interesting how all media is lumped into the media classification. What you are looking at right now is media. We all
control what media we look at.

Indeed. There was a time in the Olympics when hiring a professional coach
was frowned upon.
