    This year is the first time I watched the Olympics, and man, I don’t even care about the countries or my nation being represented, just these hot men and women doing martial arts and gymnastics

    Nothing wrong with that. I hear about him less often than I hear about the olympics.

    Actually, people seem to be weirdly insistent on telling me all about the olympics.

    Do people watch the Olympics these days? I think it’s more like the traditional version, where we receive scroll with updated results and the occasional video.

    People who aren’t interested in esoteric forms of physical excursion aren’t impressed by said excursion. Color me shocked.
