Lol gently caress

Edit: if you’re sick of commercials already, do the VPN thing and just watch it on BBC, always the best for olympics coverage

I've been told by some non-brits BBC have made VPNing harder this year. Not tried it myself though.

That commercial break in the middle of the opening routine was insane. Even watching on the NBCOlympics.com stream, they cut the feed and said "We will return shortly". Because if you aren't going to see the broadcast commercials then gently caress you, apparently.

The wild part was how not shortly they got back to it and how the commercials totally covered the emporers entrance.

I don't have TV so I'm watching a livestream of what appears to be protestors outside the stadium, with fireworks going off inside. Very dystopian I love it

Coverage is live and uninterrupted in New Zealand as usual. Also, I’m enjoying the Tokyo barn raising we’re apparently seeing.
