Anyone just see this? The swimmer from Zimbabwe who won gold was wearing a swimming cap that said 'Coventry' on it and KBS listed her nation as Coventry.

The systemic cluelessness never ceases to amaze. Then again I could see a Yank graphics technician at NBC making the same mistake.

A white swimmer from Zimbabwe? I don't believe it.

I listened to a few minutes of your podcast with bassexpander (that's all I could stomach because your over-the-top light-in-the-loafers speaking style combined with your pretentiousness was insufferable), and I heard in the intro that you're from Canada.

Why do you feel the need to throw in a bust on Americans? Try to stay on topic. Most of us (actual Americans) do a pretty good job of slamming our own gov't. We don't need your help. Thanks.

I am surprised that Zimbabwe can field a team. Anyone that run, jump, or swim has left the country.
