An unidentified Olympic games volunteer tasked with herding spectators to the Opening Ceremonies Friday night entertained the crowd with a stream of sarcastic remarks through a megaphone.

"My mouth is dry, I need some water, but I'm still talking because I'm that happy I'm going to overcome it," she deadpans from her high chair.

"I wish my mom could see me now," the volunteer quips. "I'm gonna find the video on YouTube and I'm going to show it to her.

She asked and YouTube answered. The four-minute video has been viewed nearly 450,000 times since it first appeared on the Web site on Friday.
