Welcome back to tvDownload’s new social media column — written for the people and by the people, like some kind of millennials’ Pravda. It’s where you can come to find out what the internet is saying about your favorite shows, and to see what new stuff might be worth checking out. You do want to fit in with the rest of us, don’t you, comrade?
Against all odds, the Rio Olympics are actually happening. (We doubled-down on Zika but you may have chosen pollution or corruption.) And it’s the talk of the town… of all the towns!
This dog is ready…
But this guy is not.

The official mascot is a happy yellow dude named Vinicius, and he looks like this:

And not at all like this, but it’s a nice homage anyway:
People, they have thoughts about Vinicious!

How on earth is the bird from the Rio movies not the Olympic mascot I mean I thought that's what they were aiming for the entire time

I'm disappointed to learn the committee did not use my suggestion to name the Olympic mascot "Brazilla".

The Opening Ceremony was broadcast Friday night. And no one died at all!
Turned on the #OpeningCeremony late.
I hope I didn't miss any athletes dressed up alike and waving at the crowd.— The Guy (@theguydf) August 6, 2016

Nobody told me the #OpeningCeremony was going to take place in a Matrix screensaver from 1999.

Someone literally just walked and then other people talked about the walking, while still more people watched the walk. #Rio2016
