The Son on the Winter Olympics

            Ok, first off, I want to say that it was INCREDIBLY STUPID for Brian Williams to show that clip of the guy dying! I think it was hugely disrespectful to his spirit and his family. OK, I just had to get that off of my chest... I have a different style of presenting this to you, by taking sections and stating my opinion, and giving the pros and cons.

The Olympics 

                Pros: Simply put, the Olympics are one of the most exciting things in the world. I think it is a great way for everyone in the world to come and do sports together. Also, it is incredible to see these athletes doing what they do best! For instance, watching the ice skaters doing amazing tricks... WHILE THEY ARE SKATING. Cons: People try to "spice it up" and make it pretty cheesy. For instance, I think the skater outfits were incredibly corny... But other than that, there really aren't many bad things you can say about the olympics

TV Coverage                                                             
                 Pros: Gives you a great view of the games, especially when the athletes are doing what they do best. Also, it gives you exclusive interviews and other information, and it gives you a clear view of the Olympics and you don't even have to be there. Cons: Way too much talking, wont shut up even when the information they are saying is clearly visible at the bottom of the screen, and commercials. Oh, the commercials! About four tenths of the part I was watching was commercials.
                                                       

  Opening Ceremonies

               Pros: It gives you a great aspect on Canadian culture, and shows you the athletes from around the world. I didn't get to see it all, considering it went till midnight. ( Four and a half hours!!!) But from what I saw, like I said before, it gives you a great aspect of Canadian culture, and while watching it, I learned the Canadian national anthem, and that performance was pretty cool. (It was a girl singing on this ice platform thing whilst the Canadian police raised the Canadian flag.) Only Con: Four. And. A. Half. Hours.
