2012 London Olympics!

I would be raging if my country never shown the Olympics live, I think that's shocking! We have a channel that only shows the Olympics 24 hours a day and if we push the red button we have every other live game to watch.

This about sums it up about how we hardly get to see anything live, and how pis$ed off everyone here is about it

I'd also like to say, NBC (they are the company broadcasting the olympics in the US) also censored out the tribute to the London bombings... they replaced it with Ryan Seacrest interviewing Michael Phelps. God, I feel like I'm living in China or North Korea with all this damned censoring and how controlling they are over the olympic coverage.

Should I be surprised they didn't cut it for the premiere of The Marriage Ref, or should I be not surprised they're using every chance they get to do a Phelps fluff piece?

I think that's shocking.. Imagine if it was the other way about and Britain cut out America's memorial to 9/11 or something, Britain would come across disrespectful and rude and we'd never be able to live that down.

Been feeling sorry for Phelps lately but the swimming finals tonight were amazing and he's now the greatest Olympian ever, woohoo! I really enjoyed watching the mens gymnastics yesterday, Britain only won a bronze but it's the first medal Britain has won in gymnastics in over 100 years! Looking forward to the time trials tomorrow - come on Bradley Wiggins!
