Manly Speed Skating

I have purposely been trying to stay away from the political machine of our US broadcasting coverage and enjoy the Olympic games for the sport they are intended to be. I will weigh in on all political drama with close friends and after the fact. But for 18 days I want to rejoice in the athletes.

That being said, I have to share this satire commentary from Comedy Central and the Stephen Colbert show. He makes a regular guest of Scott Thompson, as Buddy Cole on all topics gay and straight. And in this segment, he fuels the flame around Russia's gay agenda. His poor victims in this case are the US Speed Skating team, and they are so shocked by his interviews, they are often left in speechless response. The premise is branding the image of the team to defy any questions of homosexuality among their members. Things get even brighter when he takes the ice with them and attempts solutions to make their appearance more manly. Very funny stuff indeed and I am glad the athletes have a sense of humor about them.
