lolAmerica and their tape delay. I woke up early and watched it live. Some of it was interesting and other parts were just boring (like watching 204 countries walk in... no thanks).
I liked the whole footsteps thing at the beginning ;O

Of course we are gonna have a delay. Why would we wanna wake up before the ass crack of dawn to watch it??
No thanks. I'll take my taped delay.

Haha, I completely agree with you. The athletes march-in was absolutely brutal after a while but then again we have 204 countries participating this year. Don't think I'm gonna get much sleep tonight, I like watching my sports live, thank you very much. <3
Let's go Canada!
On another note, I find Harper selfish for not attending the opening ceremony. The Olympics are one of few national gatherings that aren't about politics and I think Harper should stop treating the Olympics like it's some damn way to get political issues resolved. Besides, he hasn't visited China once during his entire term as Prime Minister and I think this would have been the perfect time to go. Feel free to disagree with me here.

Well, I personally prefer our system. We get to choose when we watch it, heh. There's the live showing, then there were 2 reruns today. One at 10 am PST, the other at 4 pm PST. The system is like that roughly all Olympics: Live showings for those wanting to wake up to watch it and then reruns/tape delay in the middle of the day for those not wanting to wake up. Best of both worlds instead of being forced to watch tape delay, lols.

Oh, I'm sure we have live versions of it as well. I know the last olympics was live even in the early morning hours. I just kind of like the taped part of it.
Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?

Vancouver, meaning I was watching on CBC. Im not sure but I remember hearing something that the US broadcast on NBC was always on tape delay, lol. I remember a friend in San Antonio or Texas asking me this morning at around 5 am going "Where are you watching the Olympics?!?!? Its not on >=(" and then proceeding to talk about how they only have tape delay'd versions, lol.

I'm 92% sure that Canada does not have an online streaming site for the Olympics.
