CTV Olympic Coverage is Pathetic...fucking pathetic

Man am i pissed. I just tried for 30mins to watch the Sven Kramer disqualification video on CTV without luck. Like many others, this video is incorrectly linked on the website. the NBC site is 1000% more professional, but of course i can't see the video there, because you cant view it out of the US.


CTV's coverage in general has been nothing short of pathetic. first of all, the people covering the events, the commentators and personalities are nothing short of a joke. tamara taggart who i have talked about before has the personality of a bitchy highschool preppy, putting on a fake smile and pretending to be friends with everyone - plus she's butt ugly. then theres that corpse Robertson, who should have retired years ago. his face basically hangs off the bone, and he reads like a computer generated robot voice. his live conversations with other reporters are a joke, as he reads from prompts - this is the best we have????? seriously?


then there's the replays....you can tell a network has no idea what it's doing when it fails to clearly distinguish between live events and replays. Ever watch a professional network, and see LIVE written on the screen, those four words tell us EVERYTHING. Fucking CTV low budget, small town morons.

Fugly News Readers?

Man does Canada have some fugly news/weather personalities. This is something that I have been griping about since I got here, but all you have to do is tune into the local news casts across the border and notice that there is a huge disparity in talent between here and there...and it's not only their looks, but also their wardrobe and basic presentation skills.

Gripe number 1 for me is Tamara Taggart. She takes the cake...i mean she isn't particularly ugly but she definitely isn't hot either, but what is repulsive is she acts like she is hot. her wardrobe is atrocious, i dont know who dresses her but she always looks like a grandma with some high waisted skirt and printed loose fitting top hugging her neckline.and her makeup  i have some friends who have had contact with her and apparently she's quite conceded as well, which makes her even more fugly.

take a look at fox seattles weather girl. (left) talk about hottie...talk about well put together. now i see girls around vancouver who look like this all the time, why dont we give them the weather role, after all it isn't rocket science.

Has anyone watched Loyd Robertson on CTV's newscasts?? Seriously the guy is a national news caster, and he sounds like a machine reading the cue cards infront of him. especially awkward are the forfced conversations he sometimes has with newscasters that are on location - surely someone else has noticed how fake his tone is when he asks questions. it's like he's dead, and someone installed robotic equipment which continues to animate certain parts of him along with a computer generated voice...i mean for fucks sake why not let a younger person have a turn and let this personality free geriatric retire or die....
