One thing that has recently started getting my goat is sports commentators here constantly blabbering on about "soshal mejya" instead of the event they are supposed to be covering.
I was trying to watch the Scotland v RSA rugby test last weekend, which for the first half was fine, the original audio was available, but after the interval the audio feed failed and I had to suffer the local muppets. I had to turn off the sound after repeated references to hashtags, twatter and farcebook, and how the folks from "some-crappy-town-that-nobody-has-ever-heard-of rugby club" were now watching.
I DON"T CARE
I want to know why, for example, the penalty was overturned, not that Ze was sat in front of his TV.
It was the same for the NASCAR play-offs, with the added annoyance of idiots sending their videos to be shown on TV. The US coverage was abysmal, but at least they talked about the actual races, not who posted what on twatter.

A quick bonus gripe..........Brazilian football commentators are rated on how long they can scream GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, now some clown on ESPN has started doing the same for American football, but trying to drag out TOUCHDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN instead. I simply can't watch any game if the original audio isn't available.
