This may have been just me, but from the non-sports side, was anyone a little bothered by Mary Carillo's (sp?) talking about Chinese cuisine last night? She tried a bunch of different things (fried Scorpion, duck's feet, etc.) and made it seem like some "Fear Factor" event. I can understand that it's not what we eat here, but she was making the comments right in front of the people who prepared the food. It annoyed me a bit, like it was playing right into the "Ignorant American Tourist" stereotype. Not to mention that it's a bit rude to turn your nose up at someone's cooking when they're standing right there.
I don't know; maybe I've been watching too much Anthony Bourdain, but that whole segment was kind of ridiculous.
