Boat/People/Forklifts Getting Munsoned in Rough Seas

Yeah, many of you have probably already seen this video as it has been flying around the blogosphere today. For those of you who have not, this is pretty much a must sea (that's not a typo). A Pacific Sun cruise ship was sailing off of NZ when it encountered very rough seas. The video below shows a few CCTV vantage points of the aforementioned things in the title of this post going to hull in a handbasket (read munsoned). The forklift/blue toolshed box shot is pretty ridiculous. I'm glad they spared us the shots of people puking. Nice touch with the Rod Stewart song.

Olympic Rant Part Deux

Agreed Phil. That coverage blew. The men's downhill, in my meaningless opinion, is THE BEST Olympic event and NBC blew that. It is a weekday but it is also a holiday where a bunch of people are sitting around on the couch - it should have been shown live. If not straight NBC, why not CNBC or MSNBC, or some shit, instead of women's prelim hockey and speed skating? Also, I avoided ESPN and most other sports media sources this afternoon so I could leave a little suspense for my 8pm, tape-delayed, half hour of men's downhill. You'd think that if you check nbcsports.com for some scheduling info they wouldn't plaster the results of their tape-delayed material right on the front page, but they did. Way to totally ruin it, NBC. No wonder you're losing money on the Olympics. Oh, and here is the Chris Collinsworth Wooderson video if you haven't seen it. That Rod Stewart song at the beginning is sweet.

Rod Stewart helpfully explains in his own words why I'm not a fan of his music...

"Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It's the image, not what you sing."
