Canadian TV

So I'm watching the Superbowl last night on CTV, (technically I was watching CBS, the CRTC forces me to watch CTV), and I learned something I didn't know. Did you know the winter olympics are coming to Vancouver? AND, did you know CTV was carrying the games? I had no idea! My God! Was it necessary to have not one but at least 2 commercials for the olypics during every single commercial break?! I thought for sure they were going to premept the game so Donald Sutherland could mumble his way through a mini bio of Canada's only one eyed crokinole player. Halfway through the third quarter, I fell to my knees crying, my fists raised aboved my head, all the while blubbering, "I believe, I believe, make it stop!"

Yes CTV, I get it, you're carrying the games. If I get "I believe" shaved into my back hair will you give the commercials a friggin rest? Holy crap, they more relentless than a PBS pledge drive! If I hear that girl sing that cheesy, I guess it's supposed to be motivational, song one more time I may projectile vomit!

So not only was forced to sit through 321,456,987 CTV olympic commercials during one football game, thanks to the CRTC, I missed all the good U.S. commercials that go with Superbowl! But hey, at least I know the name and hometown and every single member of the Canadian olympic team.
