Flames. Flames on the side of my face...
Jul. 31st, 2012 06:14 pmUGH. NBC talks about their shitty Olympics coverage.
See, I knew they'd point to ratings and say that they're doing everything right. Of course it completely ignores the fact that it's the only way you can get to watch the games. YouTube and the IOC all direct you to NBC's site. BUT you can only watch on NBC's site if you subscribe to paid cable. So guess what everyone has to do? Did you say watch broadcast NBC? OMG YOU'RE RIGHT. RATINGS.
This attitude right there is something we've put up with for years from Hollywood. Is it really any wonder I've got a natural hate for anything that's imported and "translated" for American audiences? Everything is processed and homogenized and Americanized and it makes me want to shred things into tiny bits.
