you missed the point .. from the beginning when the mime/repairman fixed the forth arm on the flame, the idea was to poke fun at ourselves. fortunately, most people got it and many liked it. NBC did shut the ceremonies down early to promote the new Seinfeld program so at least you didnt have to watch it all, if you felt insulted. It seems most American veiwers are not as sensitive as you and were unhappy with the decision not to show the great closing ceremony performances to end the deal, at least according to the Yahoo news page.
I am sure you will recover.
