Aesthetics of Olympic Ceremony Ignored
What is up with all the commercial breaks during the opening ceremony of the Olympics????
That just makes no sense to me at all. China puts on its most elaborate performance piece in history to set the tone of this international competition...
and the United States broadcast networks break any semblance of aesthetic resonance in order to peddle products. Why couldnt they let the performance run straight through and then go back to commercial breaks between events or countries? I find this choice of editing very jarring and, quite frankly, disrespectful to the thousands of people that contributed to the opening ceremony performance.
