The Olympics (rant)

If you cast your mind back a whole two months you may recall that a rather large event took place. Something which occurs but once every 4 years and encompasses the entire globe and obviously draws a lot of attention from society.

Naturally everyone who isn't able to see the Olympics live would want to be able to watch any event. Most people like to support their birth nation, yet in Australia this often means people are supporting more than one country throughout the entire two weeks.


For those not fortunate enough to have the very comprehensive Foxtel coverage received quite good coverage of the Olympics... If you wanted to watch TV to see ads and occasionally some Australian focused Olympics action.

The clear dislike for channel 9's 'coverage' was expressed through a delightful Facebook page which received around 27 000 likes and contains some rather funny images on the topic.


Last but not least, They didn't even have the decency to throw the same amount of money at the Paralympics. which, ironically, was a good thing since it meant that there was actually decent tv coverage of the Paralympics.

P.S. I know it isn't technically a TV show per se , but it was a show on TV.
