NBC blows their load on the Olympics


We’re exactly one year away from the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and hopefully you can’t wait because in 365 days NBC is going to absolutely bombard you with coverage. How does 3,600 hours in two weeks sound to you? That’s more U.S. air time than all the previous Summer Games received combined!

Most of the coverage will be on the internet (2,200 hours to be exact), but the Olympics will be available for your television viewing pleasure almost anywhere you decide to click: NBC, USA, MSNBC, CNBC and even Telemundo. And despite the half-a-day time difference between the States and China, NBC will still show events like swimming, gymnastics and beach volleyball live.

We’re thrilled about the upcoming games! Hell, once the Olympics roll around, we even get excited about ping pong. Our only hope is that someone put an end to that ridiculous idea of skateboarding becoming an event. Sorry, but we just can’t stomach anymore of the Flying Tomato.
