ok, i got no problems with the olympics i got problems with the tv

channel 7 is showing olympics from 11:30am saturday untill 6am sunday straight (and after that my tv guide runs out) with only half an hour break for news the entire time! and they don't have exclusive coverage, sbs are not quite as bad but only because they're showing a little more news. i think this might be a little too much olympics. are they (whoever they might be) trying to get everyone so excited about the olyimpics that they forget the rest of life and the world? i wonder about this everytime something big comes along like world cup or christmas. enough with the hype - if people want to get excited - excellent but what about the rest of us who have to endure having excitement thrust upon us? of course i'll watch the olympics but i'm not splattering it all over my web site, this blog, emails, putting it in every conversation, starting poster campaigns, actually i just thought of a good word for it - "cashing-in".

and at the begining i was only going to have a whinge about the tv but just kept typing. yep, there's an example on the radio.
