Its almost a train wreck for me at this point. I enjoyed the original broadcast earlier and wanted to see if on the TV.

I'm pretty close to shutting this one off until USA is close

7/27/2012 9:59:53 PM

7/27/2012 10:02:35 PM

Engraved gifts from the UK

7/27/2012 10:03:14 PM

I think the country's athletes are invited on some kind of copper plaque, so they carry it in for this ceremony

7/27/2012 10:04:15 PM

I didn't know you couldn't have a country and still participate in the Olympics.

[Edited on July 27, 2012 at 10:09 PM. Reason : Iraqi's flag bearer must be awesome.]

7/27/2012 10:07:48 PM

I only watch the olympics for the sluts in bikinis

7/27/2012 10:09:21 PM

This is Haiti! One of them touched Mark Zuckerburg! Lol!

7/27/2012 10:10:09 PM

i kinda wish they'd keep the political commentary out of it

7/27/2012 10:10:59 PM

next up kenya, birthplace of barak obama

7/27/2012 10:12:16 PM

The Iraq flag bearer's obvious emotion - awesomesauce.

Must be amazing to overcome so much

7/27/2012 10:12:39 PM

paul, you so funny

7/27/2012 10:13:15 PM

^^That's why I always watch the parade of nations. The pure joy for these men and women is awesome.

7/27/2012 10:14:00 PM

That's why it's extra awesome when NBC cuts out a bunch of nations to show Ryan Seacrest and yogurt commercials.

7/27/2012 10:16:19 PM

Jordan has some lookers.

That said, lol at Kenya's one white guy.

7/27/2012 10:17:44 PM

actually, they had two white guys

7/27/2012 10:19:16 PM

"as we say LAOSSSS"

because we don't respect the correct way to pronounce anything

7/27/2012 10:20:13 PM

Rock on Libya

7/27/2012 10:20:45 PM

madagascar's biggest claim to fame is penguins and chris rock as a zebra

7/27/2012 10:28:19 PM

^^i'm just saying... if they're gonna be political, let's not ignore all the little people

7/27/2012 10:30:40 PM

so they're just not going to talk about Palestine

despite that they were on screen

[Edited on July 27, 2012 at 10:36 PM. Reason : just skipping stuff because they need more commercial money ]

7/27/2012 10:34:55 PM

They mentioned Palestine. Just that it was one of the "developing countries" in the program.

[Edited on July 27, 2012 at 10:37 PM. Reason : But that was literally it.]

7/27/2012 10:36:38 PM

pretty sure that's worse than not mentioning them

also didn't mention that Qatar was hosting the World Cup in 2022

[Edited on July 27, 2012 at 10:39 PM. Reason : .]

7/27/2012 10:40:49 PM

7/27/2012 10:42:46 PM

Sweet beard on the Sierra Leone guy

7/27/2012 10:45:08 PM

stole this from a buddy:

"Chile, perhaps most famous for sounding like a popular dish from the United States southwest region."

7/27/2012 10:46:45 PM

well hello Sri Lanka girl

7/27/2012 10:48:07 PM

Suriname's flag bearer is beautiful too.

7/27/2012 10:48:27 PM

Swedes looking like some nerds. At least their women are hot.

7/27/2012 10:49:21 PM

Who wants to bet that there's commercials right before USA

7/27/2012 10:50:30 PM

As Germany is announced.
