ugh
Words fail.
I am horrified and shocked and disgusted - but sickeningly not at all surprised - to learn that NBC aired the video of Nodar Kumaritashvili's fatal luge run.
Still photos, in the context of an investigative news report, are bad enough. One the FIRST full day of the winter games, to show the clip THREE TIMES is nothing other than gratuitous sensationalism bordering on snuff-fetishism.
I hadn't watched any Olympic coverage yet today; now I doubt I will watch any of NBC's coverage at all. I'll wait for CBC or other Canadian footage or the god-blessed DVDs before I'll give those ghoul-mongering greedy bastards one iota of viewer support.
