Seriously though...looks like I'm not the only one who went ballistic during the opening quarter with those extended commercial blocks. One other person I was watching with suggested perhaps that the FSW people just popped in commercial tapes of whatever length without having any regard for the content.
The most upsetting moment for me was missing the national anthem...as it was happening I had my fiancee on the phone long-distance all the way from Melbourne. She couldn't believe it either.
I can't complain. I got to see the medal ceremony in it's entirety and was genuinely moved by it. Despite the first-quarter advertising debacle I would still rate the whole thing a success. Alas, it sucks watching it alone when your closest companion is on the other side of the globe.
