athens/russia


having been subjected to forty excruciating minutes of tvmobile, during which i was told at least five times that channel 5 will broadcast the athens olympics opening ceremony tomorrow at 1.25am, i ask only: why the theme for an advertisement for the olympics held in greece should be borodin's polovtsian dances which is not afterall athenian or olympian but from an opera by a russian composer about central asian nomadic tribes?
