I watched about 45 minutes live in the afternoon. It was like a car wreck. Awful, but I couldn’t look away.

Opening ceremonies got crushed on all sorts of media around the world. After word spread it was so bad, people tuned in just to see how bad. Citing view numbers is meaningless. People didn't like it, with the exception of Celine - people respected that for sure.

That's why I turned it on. I got a text about it from my friend, so I checked my twitter feed, and ran to a TV.

Makes sense. You get to combine the people who watch it live, with all the people who watch it in prime time.

And Tokyo was impossible to watch

All that history in France and they chose to show some of the dumbest/ weirdest shite to ever grace the Olympics. It was bad man. No way to spin it.

When you are done taking what I guess is a victory lap, please defend that fricking garbage that you seem to want to pass off as art and good for ratings. Please. Attempt to defend it.

Because people in Sodom and Gomorrah are looking up going “what did we do that was so bad?”

I'm sure you and your merry band of cockgobblers enjoyed every second of that queer satanic bullshite but that's just a normal Saturday night for your type.

'Nutsack Olympics' is trending in X right now. But we should focus on view counts.

They watched the shite show, especially in prime time after everyone reported what they saw in the live version.

Satanic queers aside, it was fricking awful. The boats looked podunk as shite, like something we'd do on the river here in Lafayette. They were just tour boats, not even dressed up for the occasion.

The daylight fireworks looked like shite and were a huge waste of money, money they could have spent on making the rest of it look less like a shitty boat parade. The whole thing just looked cheap.

I guess you thought that this was some kind of gotcha because of the backlash, huh? Yeah, people heard about the huge tire fire and they tuned in to watch. Go figure.

The Eiffel Tower light show was cool too and the first minute or so of the River horse was nice but it just got repetitive and felt very basic compared to what it could have been.
