NBC's coverage only detracted from the ceremony. They cut most of the fashion show. And the hosts did nothing to explain or put the various acts in cultural context.

For those who don't like the queer fashion show, no one is forcing you to watch it. It's a cultural expression of the host country. It's like going to Gramany and hating the beer or the Netherlands and hating the tulips.

Happily, alcoholism bad and the tulip bubble was dumb.
