TaylorSwift 162,723 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021  Pizza for Italy, Dracula for Romania, salmon for Norway,  Chernobyl for Ukraine... These were the pictures and captions used by a South Korean broadcaster to depict nations at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games. MBC has since apologised for offending viewers, after complaints the visuals were "offensive" and "ridiculous". The channel said it wanted to make it easier for viewers to understand the entering countries quickly but said it was an "inexcusable mistake". source Cardi B for Turkey  List from reddit : https://np.reddit.com/r/olympics/comments/oq3anh/korean_broadcasting_network_mbc_used_chernobyl/h698qtz/?context=3 Romania-a picture from the movie dracula Ukraine-picture of chernobyl Turkey-man making ice cream And Cardi B Italia-Pizza Norway-salmon Mexico-Tacos Japan-sushi Poland - Lewandowski Chile-one of spain's heritage Samoa-Dwane Jhonson, Roman Reigns Dominica Republic - David ortiz El salvador- image of bitcoin Haiti-picture of a bomb terror, also mentions their president being assasinated Palestine-wall between israel China-talks about Beijing, picture points on Wuhan America-calls the capital "washington", forgets the D.C.
