The thing about the Olympics is that it's not just athletes who go. It's also our most irritating television personalities, so, unless you live in the host nation, you can wander the streets safe in the knowledge that [insert your own most irritating television personality] is out of the country. On the downside, it means that if you want to watch the Olympics, you can't get away from them.

I don't normally watch breakfast television, but this morning I thought it might be nice to see if anything interesting happened, Olympically speaking, overnight. Apparently, some Australian swimmers didn't swim as fast as some other countries' swimmers, so I was treated to an interview with one of these slow swimmers, and the incredibly irritating interviewer said to him, 'So... what happened? We were expecting a medal.'

To his credit, the slow swimmer didn't hurl a cushion at her and shout, 'You think it's so easy? You have a go, then!' Honestly, stupid woman. They don't get a medal just for turning up, no matter how good they are on paper.

And that's why I don't normally watch breakfast television.

Then I read this, which is about a different variety of stupid person.
