My NBC Olympics rage continues.
I'm normally someone who much prefers watching content on a company's site or Hulu or Netflix, or buying the DVDs rather than simply downloading something. (Or, shock of all shocks, as it airs.) It's only fair, after all, to let the company have the ad/sales revenue from the product they spent lots of money on making.
But NBC's failtastic choke-hold on the Olympics makes me glad it's losing millions over it. If it's anything like prior Olympics (since I'm still on my NBC Olympic boycott this year), it processes and repackages everything into an empty calorie chicken nugget while holding most of it hostage. The sick thing is that NBC already has the rights for the 2012 Olympics as well, so absolutely nothing will change for the London games.
NBC?

(No, it's not lost on me that this is from an NBC show.)
