Please, somebody poll the favorability rating of Hannibal Lecter. -- (link) - Tim Aug 3, 17:36 20
- Here's the real reason why he does it -- (edited) - rollo Aug 3, 20:06 1
  - That..sadly...makes sense. It's horrific as that implies that he has a plan like the Joker - zeitgeist Aug 3, 22:21
- I wonder how much they're getting paid to hold up those signs because their body language is terrible. -- nm - David Aug 3, 17:55 3

  - Hannibal is a stickler on being places on time, so that can't be the meaning of late. -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 3, 17:56
  - he doesn't understand much, and also thinks immigrants "seeking asylum" means they were released from insane asylums. -- nm - Tim Aug 3, 17:40 7

      - He's mentioned Hannibal before and has said that countries are releasing people from their insane asylums to cross the border into the US -- nm - Tim Aug 3, 17:54 3
        
        There’s some sense that he doesn’t understand that people who are seeking asylum don’t come from asylums. Like he doesn’t get the difference. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 19:46

- I'm glad we have 2 past medal winners here commenting, and the announcer follows the sport since forever. - Marlowe Aug 3, 18:21
- I really don't understand the scoring in Judo. It'll be 0-0 for an indeterminate amount of time. -- nm - David Aug 3, 17:42 4
  - There are essentially two ways to score nowadays (the rules were changed a few years ago) - Marlowe Aug 3, 18:38 3
