and this feels just like it. It is inane and insulting. I think we all could have figured out what was going on by ourselves...if we had been allowed to fucking listen to it. Is there nothing that has been brought to the intelligence level of a toadstool in this country? You can almost feel your IQ dropping. Sad, I love the ceremonies of every country and the parade but it is just sickening anymore.

Ryan Seacrest? Really?
