Nice sentence from Loriot: “Every baby should be busy with a television set as early as possible, because later on he won’t have anything else.” Still and especially true for infants who have in mind someday entering the service of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). There, the television – with its digital variants – has meaningful power, the main thing is that the quota is right. The Olympians are counting people, they count medals, they count spectators. They count with a passion that no one has counted with since Count Number on Sesame Street. He counted apples, counted cows.
