2008 Beijing Olympics

POSTED BY | WEDNESDAY AUGUST 13 AT 9:49 PDT 

You all know what the Olympics are, so there's little use in us explaining it to you here.

Network: NBC and its sister stations

Airs: Constantly between August 8th and August 24th 2008

I have disloacated my shoulder before, I can tell you with authority that it really sucks. When this Hungarian weightlifter destroys his arm, a bunch of guys come out to block us from seeing his pain. Fortunately for us, there were four different angles, all with brutal slo-mo. Even the announcers don't want to see it, but they do. It's like a train wreck, only the train is an arm. More...
