<p>As most of us Canadians were forced to endure the terrible introductions of <strong>Brian Williams </strong>and his ragtag team of bad broadcasters, old people and socially inept morning hosts, I did notice a few things that could have made things more enjoyable.</p>
<p><strong>10 &#8211; Dude drinking beer through Whistler village. </strong></p>
<p>CTV completely missed the boat on this one forgetting to mention that the beer was most likely locally brewed.</p>
<p><strong>9 &#8211; Loooouuuuuu is not Booooooooo</strong></p>
<p>I get that CTV and TSN tried to explain that us Vancouverites were not booing, but why not actually ask someone who doing it?</p>
<p><strong>8 &#8211; The Houses</strong></p>
<p>Other than constant shots of Canada Hockey House, CTV never really showcased any other house. Wasn&#8217;t Holland house bangin?</p>
<p><strong>7 &#8211; From Dives to Presentable Venues</strong></p>
<p>This is more of a tip of the hat to the people of VANOC who turned dives like the Pacific Coliseum and BC place into world class venues. CTV decided not to show how much work was put into these places to make them look the way they did.</p>
<p><strong>6 &#8211; How Did Brian Williams Stay Alive?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that Brian Williams has since returned to his cryogenic chamber that keeps him preserved for another four years, but I would have liked to see someone analyze his day like he did will all of the speed skaters.</p>
<p><strong>5 &#8211; How were all of these red mittens produced?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not being critical, in fact I think it would have been a great segment to have. How did The Bay manage to turn everyone&#8217;s hands red? Come on, wouldn&#8217;t you have rather seen that than another segment of <strong>Michael Landsberg</strong> walking through Whistler village?</p>
<p><strong>4 &#8211; Athlete&#8217;s Village</strong></p>
<p>What went on in there? Fans partied outside, but weren&#8217;t there some kickin&#8217; parties going on in the Athlete&#8217;s Village? It was like CTV tried to get in the door, but the bouncer said no unless he brought 6 hot friends.</p>
<p><strong>3 &#8211; What happened to those tards who broke shit?</strong></p>
<p>It would have awesome to show what happened to those guys that went around smashing shit. Like a 5 minute segment on a VANOC van dropping them off in Hope or something with a bunch of the mascots waiting to pound on them.</p>
<p><strong>2 &#8211; Russian Disappointment<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Okay, maybe this would have been a bit much, but as we passed the Olympic flag over to Sochi, would it have been cool to challenge them personally? Like &#8220;Let&#8217;s see if you can do it better, even though you&#8217;re all considered failures already by your leader.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>1 &#8211; Danny Chan&#8217;s Olympic Photography</strong></p>
<p>Again, probably not the highest on everyone&#8217;s list but Danny Chan had some of the BEST images of the games I&#8217;ll ever see. It was a privilege to follow him on FB and got me thinking about why CTV didn&#8217;t focus a little bit on the personal creativity of the locals.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t know if <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=624451258#!/album.php?aid=194575&amp;id=624451258" target="_blank">Danny will have his albums public</a>, but I think everyone should be able to enjoy them.</p>
<div id="attachment_2341" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 651px"><a href="http://bloatedpenguin.mikescottlew.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2341" title="Screencap of Danny Chan's Photo" src="http://bloatedpenguin.mikescottlew.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-1.png" alt="Picture 1 The Non CTV Top 10 Moments of the Vancouver Games" width="641" height="418" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is my favorite, but he&#39;s got tons more.</p></div>
<p>Anyways, if you thought this was lame, go download Silverlight and watch CTV&#8217;s coverage on your own time.</p>
<p>OUT.</p>
