I just want to watch the opening ceremony of the damn Olympics and they have to make the entire process of watching even fucking ads on their shit streaming platform a dumpsterfire

The fucking bastards even made it impossible to watch it on the fucking Olympics yourube page

For the life of God and his daemons, does anyone know where to watch the full opening ceremony?

    The thing I hate most about NBC is the constant "mugging" (to use a term from Citations needed :citations-needed: ). They are constantly pointing out the obvious and acting like they are deciphering a hidden code of knowledge the "rube" viewer couldn't possibly parse. The commentary is just worst combo of audio filler and obvious observation.

      "Czechia, that's a country in Eastern Europe, right Bob?"

      "Yes Jane, it is."

        Jane: You don't have to be a dick about it, Bob.

        Bob: You don't have to be drunk all the time, Jane.

        Jane: Look, it's Albania! You cheated on your wife with a woman from there, right?

        Bob: That's right, Jane! And now the French team has appeared. See, Jane, not all French people are like the guy who stood you up at the altar.

        God damn. Remember when the Olympics wasn't about countries competing with one another?
