I'm so freakin' mad at MSN right now.

I love watching the olympics and really, really love watching women's gymnastics... will they win, won't they win. It's just always been my favorite part of the olympics. All day, I've been looking forward to watching the team finals tonight since the US is favored to win. I love the anticipation of watching to see how they do and who wins.

Well, that all went to you know where thanks to the MSN home page having the results right on their home page in the first rotating news spot. At least Yahoo has the decency to NOT make it obvious as soon as you go to their home page and they have a spoiler alert. MSN didn't even give you the choice. I already know who wins.

So, now I'm pretty ticked because I know who wins and I've been robbed of the experience of the anticipation to see if they win.

Stupid news media.

Don't feel bad...cnn sent me a frickin' "breaking news" email. asshats.

I listened to it at work and it was AWESOME!! Did u know you can do that? And I listen to my soap every day from the day before, saves me an hour when I get home.

So wrong. It's one thing to have the information available if you want to know, another if they don't give you a choice. I changed my home page to Yahoo.

I don't remember the time difference / delay to air being an issue during the last Olympics.

Was anyone else watching last night when they showed a commercial on NBC with Missy Franklin holding her gold medal before the race was even shown? Stupid, stupid media.

Thanks for the spoiler, Sharriel. You're as bad as MSN!

Last night was her first.

Very annoying! Huffington Post had it as the top news yesterday, too, with no mention of a spoiler. I like watching some of the low key events like women's skeet, handball, and water polo. I usually don't find applied on them and with them during the day, I think they are close to live.

COnan did a joke on this last night and they said that NBC made this statement:

"We are so sorry if we gave away that she had won the gold medal but we are not used to anyone watching our channel so we didn't think anyone would notice!"
