but everyday there’s a new thing coming, the ways of an oriental view

It was just recently brought to my attention that when Mike Breen proclaimed that Yao Ming was “the face of a billion people” during the U.S.A. versus China basketball game, he was actually commenting on Yao’s popularity in China and how the Olympic hopes of a very proud nation rested on his broad shoulders, and was not, in fact, making an “all Chinese people look alike” crack.

So to you, Mr. Breen, I apologize. Good day to you, sir.

Hey, so, do you think Mary Carillo is a pre-op chick, or a post-op dude? I can’t for the life of me tell, Internet, and I’d like your input. You know how I value your opinion…

How is it that I’ve lived my entire life without ever realizing how incredibly hot all female synchronized divers are? I’m looking at you in particular, Guo Jingjing, with your cute diver body in that tight little bathing suit, and your sexy wet hair delicately framing the face of a billion people.

And major kudos to NBC for their continued use of the after-dive shower cam.

Major, major kudos.
