Till London...

As I blogged about the start of the Olympic Games, I felt it only fitting that I write about the end of the historic 29th Olympiad. I was not as impressed by the closing ceremony as I was by the opening, not least because I was fuming throughout the event.
I have specifically paid more for the Astro Sports package so that I could enjoy extended coverage of the Games. We have not been offered an Olympic package, no, as existing customers of Astro we have to simply add on to our current subscription. I have even resigned myself to endure the downgrade fee that will be imposed once I cancel my Sports package subscription. With all the money that Astro is making off us, their customers, one would imagine that we would be given the priority in whatever they screen. However, that was not the case during the broadcast of this ceremony.
It was a live telecast, but it was interrupted every 15 minutes or so by the airing of a sponsor’s advertisement. I mean the greed of this company is monumental. They get paid enormous amounts of money by their customers all over Malaysia. Yet, it appears their greed knows no bounds. Why else would they disrespect their existing clientele by interrupting a LIVE telecast to bombard us with useless, pointless, annoying as hell adverts from supposed sponsors! How fucking rude! Bloody Maxis and fucking Hotlink!
If those advertisers had any sort of sense at all, they would pay a little more attention to the effect that they adverts actually had. I mean I am about ready to swear off Maxis and Hotlink for all eternity. In fact I will advocate that anyone with a Maxis account discontinue it just on the principle of the thing. Bloody idiots!
Just Me.
