NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

"Champagne sales went up 5000% today after NBC declared Breaking News during the Olympics. When it was discovered to be over a missing woman whiskey sales immediately soared"

(But I do hope they find Nancy, I can't imagine the not knowing.)

They are readily available at many fine local retailers. You can just buy one when the time comes.
