- any event that requires subjective judging should be suspended until Professor Frink Approved Robots are created (seriously)
Ending, Mike Snyder, a news anchor from NBC 5 wins the Jingoist Statement of the Day Award (thus proving once again that the Olympics are totally political). The context was in regards to a lack of attendance to various events, Mike stated that something like that “wouldn’t happen in America.” With a straight face no less.
