Yeah. That Happened.

Anyone watch the 1st Round table tennis match between North and South Korea? Or the DPRK and the ROK if you wanna be technical about it.
 
Well, I noticed something in the NBC broadcast. After the match, just as the two competitors shook hands the camera cut away so fast anyone who blinked might not have seen this:


The cut-away was so conspicuously rough I can just imagine some stooge in the editing department leaping across the room to slam the Censor button. Normally, they transition between footage with a sparkling NBC logo. This time they whipped away to show something unimportant like people standing on the sidelines.

You stay classy, NBC.

  1. It was pretty cool of them to shake hands after the game. I wonder why NBC decided to do that. It's not like they were forming an agreement between the two nations to get on until America is out of the way. It's friendly competition and the two guys were just being sportsmen. We should be celebrating it, not pretending it didn't happen. Well caught.

  2. Nope. I don't watch any sports game.
