Beijing 2008 (opening ceremony)

So we are blocked in the United States. I could be watching the Olympics right now online but apparently somebody had the bright idea to block this region and make us wait until "prime time" to watch them. Ohmmm well that is kinda ridiculous since I feel that I should be allowed to watch the action real time like the rest of the world. I wonder whose bright idea this was. You know they do it every 4 years. I hope Chicago gets them for 2016 and we'll be watching them live then. So, I am reading the live feeds from the BBC but I need to wait until later tonight to actually watch it. Thank you NBC your bright plan makes me want to not even bother watching it.
