my local nbc affliliate just gave the results of the olympics they will be showing tonight

[spanone]

the downhill anyway...without a spoiler alert....well, guess i wont have to watch tonight.....

[mdmc]

1. what idiots

[aquart]

2. PLEASE inform them of the reason why.

Really, they need to be slapped.

[exboyfil]

11. I think those who bought commercial time

might slap them around.

[KingFlorez]

3. They do it every time

Without fail, the results of events get blabbed every Olympics because of the time delay.

[Warpy]

4. Yeah, if WINNING is all that matters to you

Watching the Olympics is watching the best conditioned athletes the world have to offer and sometimes it's sheer poetry whether they win or not. If all you care about is who gets the prize, then don't bother watching.

[spanone]

5. hahahahahaaa....touchy about our olympics aren't we. i'll take my poetry with the mystery thanks.

[Biker13]

17. Agreed!

Beautifully stated!

There are some events I'm not really THAT interested in, but I might tune in to, just for a lark. But knowing the results ahead of time? Nah.

It's "The Big Labowsky" on DVD tonight!

Besides, the McDonald's commercials last night during the short program for the pairs figure skating drove me nuts! I haven't eaten at a McDonald's in 20 years, and all those commercials (for horrible, unhealthy food!) just reinforced my decision!

F*CK NBC!!!!

[cbayer]

6. I hate that they are delaying these games on the West Coast. What a bunch of bull.

And I hate spoilers!

:grr:

[Roon]

7. I get email alerts from my local news

and they started putting "spoiler" in their subject lines.

[tridim]

8. I just went to nbc.com to view tonight's TV schedule and the results were posted on the same page

Idiots.

[seabeyond]

9. ahhhhhm. that is horrible. nt

[HeresyLives]

10. Why aren't you getting it live?

NBC has the exclusive contract to do so.

[marmar]

12. How strange......I just returned from Toronto, where the Olympics are on like 7 channels.....

..... you can't avoid seeing everything live.

[stevedeshazer]

13. What really pisses me off about this is that I'm less than 500 km and in the same time zone.

Barring delays, I could drive there sooner than I'd learn from NBC.

[seabeyond]

14. my hubby thought it a hoot. totally sympathetic and unbelievable, but a hoot. not many stories

i share with him from du does it for him, but he is truly flabbergasted that they did that to you

[Fumesucker]

15. That's what you get for watching TV "news"..

Aggressively, blatantly stupid.

16. duh

Ours did too - the snowboarding, which I was looking forward to. I'll still watch, but it certainly takes the thrill out of it.
