Shrinking the video down to 20% size to show ads with audio over the opening ceremonies pissed me off so much.

Ugh, it was fine during the endless parade of countries and athletes, but putting it in the middle of the best part of the show (the second major song) was so obnoxious, for 4 ads back-to-back that were all repeated elsewhere in the broadcast? I'm still quite annoyed about it. I understand needing to run a fair number of ads for funding reasons, but don't undercut the best part by shrinking it and literally muting the music.

They did this with Paris too. 

But this time was even worse, and the ads were utter shit.
