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?
I haven’t turned my television on in two years, so—no...
OMGosh, the Olympics. Was that this year?
A country ridden with crime, disease, corruption and collapse. But let’s dwell on a fake disaster. Maybe that’s why they are
Internally crumbling as a society in real time.
Your bad review is good enough for me.
I almost spit on the floor when they started with the global warming BS... until I realized that I was in my own house.
Opening ceremonies are always crap, but I got stuck because my wife is obsessed with the Olympics.
Thank you....won’t watch.
I don’t watch sports live. I wait an hour or so and then watch so I can skip the commercials. Saves about 30-40% of my time.
I hear NBC is doing a terrible job though. Nice to hear them get bashed.
Am not watching..instead Im watching the Kitten Summer Games..SO adorable!
Can’t watch, would not watch, have no reason to watch—no TV, but that is beside the point. I don’t even have a computer. I hope to buy one soon.
Skip the human "interest" bits about how the athlete was able to draw inspiration from the struggles of his three legged cat Hoppy and you can get that up to 50%.

When have they ever done a good job? My opinion on NBC's coverage is summed up in my tagline.
The Kitten Summer Games! Wow!
Sounds so super cute... what channel is it on?
I probably don’t get it. :(
Not me! I’m waiting for the casuality count...
I wish I could watch the American coverage; I do get NBC up here. But my Quebec husband is watching the French coverage. *gag*
I watched a small part of it.
Cheesy, small time, looked like a Jr. High parade.
Rather watch the Astros lose than the Olympics.
No interest this go round.
Watching the Criminal with Kevin Costner. Pretty good so far.
Pray America wakes

Thank goodness for tablets and smart phones!!! 8>)
I guess I’m not surprised. Global warming can be leveraged to create cash flows from the guilt ridden first world to third world marginal states like Brazil, especially if promoted properly. This is just economic self help by other means.
Not I.
