Oh my god. I thought the same thing. I actually changed the channel when they began this segment because I couldn't stop cringing! Will they stop at nothing to make us look like insulting, fat, American assholes? (specifically, I'm speaking of Al Roker, here). Jeeeeesus! This opera thing aside, have you seen his "chinese word of the day" segment? He could not be more condescending, irreverent, insulting and just, frankly, gross. It is an embarassment. People of Beijing…we are all not as insulting as these people!
