Man: “Shit,
the Olympics Are On”
CLEVELAND– On Saturday night while
watching television, area man Brian Colemon, 34, turned to local NBC affiliate
WKYC and was shocked to see the Winter Olympics, which opened Friday night.
“I was just sitting
there, flipping around, looking for something to watch, and then I saw
these [speed] skaters,” he said. “I was like, ‘Shit, the Olympics
are on.’ I didn't even know it.”
Colemon, a video rental
store manager, was unaware that the games had even begun.
“I totally forgot about
it,” he said. “I mean, I knew they were over here and everything,
but I just hadn't heard about them too much.”
Colemon was watching
USA's airing of “Speed,” but changed the channel during a commercial.
“I was all happy and
shit, you know,” he said. “It's like I just came across this great
show I forgot about. Except this show lasts, like, two weeks.”
The joyous discoverer
proceeded to watch the Games for three minutes.
“Fuck it,” said Colemon.
“It got real boring real fast. Plus, the Powerpuff Girls were on.”
Colemon does not appear
likely to return to the Winter Olympics as a source of entertainment.
“Yeah, I'll click over
there every now and then to see what's up,” he said. “But if it's
something other than the luge, I'm switching.”
