Last night was the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Summer Olympics. Danny Boyle created a masterpiece of all parts of the United Kingdom. It featured politics, revolutions, and short movies and dance numbers. The viewers at home watching this masterpiece missed some of this marvelous entertainment. NBC decided that some of it was too complicated to understand so they cut the experience and put in commercials and interviews. Boyle's masterpiece was also ruined by the commentary. They said they didn't know who Tim Berners-Lee was. The spectators didn't have to listen to the commentary in London.
This isn't respecting all the people who helped plan this wonderful event. This is something that shouldn't be done again!

Mac, I totally agree with you and how well you express your feelings of outrage. It was wrong of NBC to edit any of the show. A show like this is like a piece of music--if you cut some notes out of it, you interfere with the whole show, with the changes of feeling and mood which the director has deliberately put into it. Shame on NBC, and good for you for telling them so.
