Yeah I was really surprise to see that too and end up watching reruns of Bones instead. I guess channel 7 made a lot $$$ on all the commercial breaks !I saw the opening ceromonies...didnt like all the commercial breaks.
Agreed... sad that they cannot provide better coverage of all the games through different channels or something... I do not care for many of the summer games and the ones I do like are hardly ever shown... luckily I have cable this year, hope i can be able to watch the games I like...Yes, I have it on now. I don't have cable so unfortunately, I only get see the very limit coverage on broadcast stations. Most stations only pick the most popular, well-known sports and frequently only give them coverage while US players are involved - not realizing some of what to see the less common events and regardless of who is playing.

And I don't like the cast of the Today show , they can't shut up for one moment during the events . Yeah I was hoping there more channels coving this b/cAgreed... sad that they cannot provide better coverage of all the games through different channels or something...

i watched the opining ceremonies
mostly..
the brazilians sure went to town for this...
now if only brazil can get clean running water to rio's poor neighborhoods....
alas..
if only
how much money would ti take to get fresh clan water to the poor areas?
how money did that open design love fest cost?
not being a humbug
just curious
True... but they did not pay for it... they were given a fund to help prepare for it... they do get millions upon millions of dollars for and in aide... as to why it is not better improved who knows... greed somewhere?
No doubt they will... but in the opening ceremony... during the rain forest and indigenous people part they covered that money was given to them to help with the cost of the Olympics and it was from that money that the projector was bought...actually brazil will be paying for it very much so for decades..
i think canada is still paying its bills for the olympics for m the 80s...and thats a first world nation, for nations like brazil the debt will only cause allot more plms.
thats one plm with the olympics...as currently orhestrated
why not give your people clean running water first......
i dunno
makes sense to me..
but
meh
have you seen elite squad? and city of god?
two really good brazil films..
to better understand the olympics ..down there
those films aren't about the olympics per se, they are about the poor and the brazilian governments mass murder of them..
the second on anyway
