Holy shit Team GB are actually third in the medals table! I don't think anybody expected us to do this well.
Oh and do you know what's hilarious? Well for those who don't know. The 'winner' of the olympics is the country who wins the most gold medals, not total medals - so, all medals tables are ordered by golds won, regardless of how many medals are won in total.
However, NOT in America. No. Their country is so insecure about themselves that they show the table ordered by total medals... so Americans not knowing any better think that their country is winning... all the time. You can't blame them really, it's the media's fault. But really, they're THAT insecure they feel they need to do that?
Proof of American media getting it all so so wrong: NBC
The actual standings from non-US media: BBC
Everyone else's country shows the correct table right? It literally is just America that gets it wrong? I lol'd, but what a bunch of sore fucking losers though. Just because they aren't number 1. Wow.
It's all the little things like this that make everyone hate America so much I think.
