I stopped watching the Olympics long ago because of the wall-to-wall advertising. I stopped nearly all network news viewing because of the corporate ad seepage. I stopped watching network television for the same reason. I stopped listening to National Public Radio as corporate "sponsors" tainted coverage. The Jim Carrey 1998 comedy "The Truman Show" is now a documentary. If anyone reading this is unfamiliar with the film check here for a good summary of it and the corporate mindf*ck modern 'Merica has become: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Truman_Show

Have not followed the current Olympic nonsense for the same reason I don't watch TV, the Super Bowl or political debates. Thanks for another amusing essay. I really look forward to reading your Substack posts. 🐈‍⬛
