As Twitchy reported earlier, NBC is receiving world-wide mockage of their incredibly lame Olympics coverage.
Yesterday, the #NBCFail hashtag erupted worldwide and showed no signs of let-up. Ridiculous tape delays, news/programming spoilers, arrogant tweets from former NPR executive-turned-NBC chief digital officer Vivian Schiller, geographic errors, and streaming woes have earned the peacock network global social media mockery.
The mockery is continuing today.
Coming up on NBC Olympics coverage: Yet more annoying commercials, mundane interviews and craptastic interviews no one cares about #nbcfail.

So, as the Americans swim for the gold, NBC decides to show us a boring pre taped interview. #NBCfail

Twitter users decided it was more fun to come up with #MundaneOlympics events for NBC to cover, rather than watching the shambles-filled coverage itself.
