More fun with Olympics

I touched on this a little bit, but a lot of people are making a big deal out of Gabby Douglas not smiling and having her hand on her heart during the national anthem.


Oh wow...she looks pretty unhappy......sort of like she did in 2012!  Remember all the backlash about Gabby Douglas' deplorable demeanor in London?  Me neither:


Holy crap!  I thought McKayla Maroney was the one with the mean and disinterested face all the time?  Yes, I understand that her hand isn't on her heart. I never knew that was a requirement during the national anthem.  Have you ever been to a sporting event?  They NEVER ask the crowd to place their hands on their hearts. They DO ask everyone to please stand and remove their hats.  If she was posted up in a chair wearing a beret...ok you've got something.

Oh, but one more thing about the dangers of basing your opinion of someone on a short video clip or still picture.....here's another picture of Gabby Douglas from 2012 on the same podium, presumably taken moments before or after the above shot:


ERMAHGERD SHE'S GOT THE BIGGEST SMILE OF ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!
