NBC is interrupting the coverage of the opening ceremonies ever few minutes for at least three minutes of really BAD advertisements. But then the opening ceremonies are pretty bad themselves. . . among the worst of the modern era.
How many of our Fellow Freepers are finding this as off-putting as I am?
Then the Brazilians used it for a huge propaganda push for the dire consequences of Global Warming, not even "Climate Change!" Good Grief. . .
Comments?
As I understand it, both the silver and bronze medals will be awarded posthumously in the Bullet Dodging competition.
Sad they dressed our athletes as Russian Spetsnaz .....
Tom Brokaw in a Gaucho get-up. WTH
Did you see the “refugee” athletic delegation enter the stadium to by far the biggest cheers of the night? UN secretary Ban Ki-moon was in ecstasy. As he was when the “country” of “Palestine” marched on by. Puke-worthy in the extreme, all of it.
The U.S. delegation (over 550 strong) made sure to put a hijab-wearing athlete right up front with Michael Phelps.

So gold is a weekend at bernies thing?
Was watching until they came back from the commercial w/ the heating of the earth or whatever circular b.s. it was. I glared at the audacity of “The Globalist Elites” , but am honestly not surprised at How Far their B.S. Falsehood of “Global Warming, ohhhhh its Climate Change now” actually has Reached/Infested! I am now done w/ the Olympics, except for Women’s Soccer. (They, The U.S.A team,already won their 1st game 2days ago, against New Zealand + they will win + take no prisoners) Screw the French womens team in Saturdays game too, they’re going DOWN.
Gee the Olympics are on. I was watching Bill Holden and Frederic March in The Bridges of Toko ri on Starz Retroplex.
Oh you so superior people who haven’t turned on TV in 2 years. You’re so much better than us inferior folks who like to stay abreast of things by flipping around the tube.
Sorry we wasted so much of your superior time by making you post that to this thread but then you had to mention how awesome you are by not watching TV, right?
So thanks, I guess.
The whole thing sucks big time!
This probably will not end up well.
If only!
Figured this was going to happen. Which is why this household will not watch it.
No, smartass, I don’t like the endless commercials!
Nearing 200 comments on the other thread.
Capitalism..?
Why even have a couple of weak-voiced commentators when most of what they're saying is covered up by crowd noise.
I turned on Forensic Science till the ending ceremonies. The Olympic Flame feature was certainly creative and spectacular.....and worth staying up so late to enjoy it.

I only like NBC’s golf coverage and that’s only because they have Johnny Miller who’s great.
Thanks for the report about the ridiculousness. Stupidity on parade.
“Gee the Olympics are on. I was watching Bill Holden and Frederic March in The Bridges of Toko ri on Starz Retroplex.”
Some of Mickey Rooney’s finest work.
the hallmark channel I’m watching it now
French Canadian husband? That was your doing.
