Mystery Science Theater 3K & The Olympics

According to Dirty Red Commie.com. A Master Control Operator in Helena Montana, Was playing a game of Solitary, and this happened.

The Olympics with MST3k
We have confirmations! Apparently it was local to Helena, Montana.

From the apparent cause of our entertainment :
I'm a master control operator for an NBC affiliate in Helena, Montana. I basically switch on air programming from standard definition to high definition and roll local breaks during network television.

I somehow accidently clicked a button on that program while playing solitare that brought up the Mystery Science Theater3000 sillouette at the bottom of people's tv screens in town. I don't freaking know how it got there but people watching television were probably losing there freaking minds.

If I hadn't recorded it, I'd think I'm losing my mind. I was idly fast-forwarding through the olympics broadcast on my MythTV box, and I saw Joel, Tom Servo, and Crow T. Robot at the Olympics! They appeared today, August 17 between about 2:00pm and 3:13pm Mountain Time on NBC. Did anyone else see it? If you did/didn't, please let me know! It's possible that this was only visible on the HD broadcast. I don't think they were added by the local station, because they were constantly present over both events and nationwide commercials, but they disappeared for local commercials. They were just static sillhouettes, so there was no hilarious commentary added.

For those wondering, it was on the KTVH over-the-air HD broadcast.

MST3k in Beijing!

Even over the nationwide commercials! Somebody is fired!

They disappeared sometime during the Men's 10,000 meter.

That right there would have made the Olympics Watchable! And of Course, they would have to have the commentary going with it!
