Outraged badminton fans speak out!

from Brain Noise · host Orny Adams

Unbeknownst to me and most of the world (the sane world) there is a group of ardent, outspoken, defensive, devoid of senses of humor badminton fanatics... that are outright mean at times. There is no joking about badminton with these people-- it is their religion. I discovered this when I posted a video questioning the validity of badminton as an Olympic event. And for those of you that know me, it was done with a wink. But now it is on! Here is my reaction to their unrealistic reaction.You'll be shocked to discover what was an Olympic event from 1912-1948 (unless you read the LA Times yesterday.)Enjoy. Take a deep breath badminton fanatics and enjoy this one.Orny Adams Brain Noise
