Let's Watch The Olympics And Forget What's Really Happening! Yay!

Because I just love how MSNBC prioritizes world affairs. Look at the photo below. Note the large photo of Ms. Who-Really-Gives-A-Fuck-But-She's-Hot-So-She's-Got-My-Attention and then check out the small section about the Afghanistan army. Am I missing something?

 

(You gotta love this.)

You would think that any new information about the war in Afghanistan would be their prime focus. But of course, it's imperative that we not miss the live updates of freestyle skating. Perhaps, Olympic skating will help quell things out there in the Middle East! Sure! Maybe if we get two cargo jets full of ice skates, soldiers and Afghani civilians alike could resolve all civic and political disputes by engaging in super smooth double-axles upon majestic desert sands like in a Disney film! Let's all dance and belt a cute, colorful number while birds and pudgy raccoons frolic happily on our shoulders! Isn't that what life is all about?! No? What do you mean? That Olympic games are just a timeless ploy to keep otherwise active citizens in some drooling TV-induced inertia?! No way, that's bullshit! You're just paranoid if you believe that. What are you gonna tell me next, that 9/11 was an inside job? That Che was killed by the CIA? That the Greenhouse Effect is propaganda? You're crazy!

Oh, this world and its perfection. I can see it now, in two weeks, the U.S. introduces a new rocket launcher that shoots zombie-virus missiles that's used to infect 30,000 civilians which are all "justifiably" mowed down by troops (again) only to have MSNBC devote a small ad to the calamity, all the while focusing on the more pressing issue at hand, Norwegian Poodles going for Gold in Olympic Curling. Just wait...

Actually, that backfired. I would love to see that...
