commentating on balls

is it just me or does everyone else also hate the commentators on the guiness 9-ball tour? one word: boring-and-full-of-shit.

commentator 1 (com1): he'll definitely go for the centre right pocket here...
commentator 2 (com2): yeah...that's gotta be the only shot he has...
moby (watching on tv): fuck you lah...confirmed upper right pocket lah. cock...who would go for centre right???

*the player calmly slots the ball straight into the last right pocket*

com1: wow! tremendous shot!
com2: yes! i didn't think it would go through! he had us fooled there didn't he?!
moby: yeah...fool is right. fools actually.

ok...the wording isn't exactly as such, but i think you get the picture...anyway, there were a lot of other instances that i can't be bothered to list down...

but seriously...why get these kind of amateurs (i'm being kind to call them that...) to commentate when there are so many other people out there who are much more qualified? get an ex-professional player lah...or at least someone who has played pool before...

after a while, it was so excrutiatingly detrimental to my ears and mental health to listen to their crap that i just turned the tv to mute.

shortly after that, my pool idol won the competition. =D



good stuff. go taiwan! cheers. =)
