You have to admit it was entertaining listening to Limpball's golf buddy having to having to describe the honoring of the National Health Service, and practically choking on the words.

and viewers end up missing most of it because the assholes WILL NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR FIVE MINUTES.

Come the revolution, talking bobbleheads have got to be in one of the first waves up against the wall. Maybe after insurance company executives.

Their insipid commentary during the opening ceremonies. The lousy, jingoistic coverage of any and all events. The stupid boring pointless soft-focus human interest stories during prime time. And now, the requirement that I must subscribe to cable TV including MSNBC just to stream it. NBC sucks donkey balls.

Lauer's ego is so big the speed of light is too slow.
Lauer's ego is so big there isn't enough helium to inflate it.
Lauer's ego is so big it causes a total eclipse of the sun.

And did Meredith Viera really say, "Money shot" to Boyle? And seriously, she needed to use a Neti Pot.

I cannot stand Matt Lauer.

And Bob Costas made my IQ drop about 20 points.
