Others offered up a sound suggestion:

Like Putin couldn’t hire seat fillers like the damn Oscars? 51 billion dollars, y’all.

Actor Rob Lowe went one further with some delicious snark aimed at Vladimir Putin:

I know Vladimir Putin hates American "exceptionalism," but at least we know how to use seat fillers. #NBC #Olympics2014

But beware, Mr. Lowe:
