“American TV audiences suffer almost seamless ads with only minor interruptions for content. But the Olympics, with its ‘sponsorship partner’ requirements, takes the lunacy to a new level.

And from the snippets I have seen, I’ve learnt that, in the main, the Olympics are held in the pool and that most competitors are called Phelps.”
