Now, everyone that lives in Vancity knows that things are not really peachy keen when it comes to how they have been preparing for the Olympics.
-They lied about all the low-income housing they were going to (and supposed to) provide.
-They lied about all the jobs it was going to provide to BC citizens (City hall and the BC govt. are cutting jobs, not creating them)
-And they lied about how green it was going to be (I mean how green can it be considering you are flying millions of people from all over the world to come pollute your city for a jam-packed two weeks?!)
Well, now it looks like NBC is screwing themselves over as well by jumping the gun and buying all the media rights to the 2010 Winter Olympics, because now they can't sell the freaking ad time! Check out the full story here.
Seriously, does anyone have any foresight? Not only are people still spending completely irresponsibly but the fact that NBC bought the media rights without even acknowledging that it might be a bit hard to sell considering we are currently in the biggest recession the western world has experienced is downright stupid.
Sorry, someone had to say it. Spending outside our means is something we just can't do anymore. Unfortunately its not something we can choose, our current predicament has chosen it for us.
