I think in this day and time with all the technology this is bound to happen but why can they not carry live broadcasts of the events? Also I would like to have the option of seeing different events but where can I do that? I don't Twitter or use Facebook. Don't like them. Also NBC has done its fair share of gaffs as well giving the results of an event that was just taking place. I also think it is a shame that so many people wanted tickets to events and could not get them and now they are free to military, school children and I guess any living thing. Such a shame......

That's the thing. Why not broadcast live during the day then repeat at night. They do it all the time with professional sports having several replays a night. In this day of technology and light speed access to news most will purposely avoid media IF they really want to surprised ooops ment entertained.

To me the Olympics are just another saturated media sporting event.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Aquarius

Watch out if you're going shopping, because you'll be tempted to splash out on impulse buys. This doesn't matter so much if you're feeling flush, but it could cause problems if you're supposed to be counting every penny. Whatever the state of your finances, you may buy items you don't need and possibly even won't like when you look at them again tomorrow.
