Here are 10 reasons why Gabby Douglas should not make any money off her gold medal performance. If you don't read the whole thing you will miss the last word in the article and not know what you have just read, but then I am sure that leaners won't read that far. The whole thing really pisses me off but that last word just makes me laugh at the whole thing.

For those who don't know who Gabby Douglas is you might read up on the Olympics and what that little African American girl has managed to do in less than 18 years, but she didn't really build all that although she lived away from home for 2 years so she could become what she has become.

Hey, read the words of the Godfather and then attack him for all that racism and sexism.

Exclamation NBC Shows Monkey Doing Gymnastics After Gabby Douglas Wins Gold Medal

NBC Shows Monkey Doing Gymnastics After Gabby Douglas Wins Gold Medal

I guess NBC lives by the race card, and dies by the race card...

Pretty **** poor timing but I'm sure they had their advertising lined up for available time slots way before anyone knew who would be on the medal podium.

The monkey is clearly doing a men's gymnastic routine. Relating it to Gabby is quite a stretch.

When hasn't NBC ****ed up?

If you really want to get technical, they even ****ed up the Olympics coverage.

Anyone who would be offended by this or would insinuate anything by it is an ass hat! Goes to show how over sensitive some people are! It is as bad as the ''black hoe'' doll.

What's wrong with their coverage? The network channels play the highlights while the dozen other NBC channels cover the sports live and in it's entirety. I think Comcast is going a great job here by allowing people to watch what they want. Choosing to have all these extra channels of live coverage was a good call in my opinion.
