I really fucking hate NBC. It is always about the east coast. West
coast gets boned. Vancouver is 2 hours from here, but we can only watch
it with tape delay. With no Canadian coverage available down here
(which there has been in the past), that means ultra boned.
Oh, and to the Beijing>Vancouver ceremony comment: winter olympics are far less extravagant than the summer olympics. In addition, considering the Beijing olympics were... ~$40 billion, and the vancouver olympics are supposedly ~$6-$7 billion, I think that comparison is moot.
