Otay, so I should have known how it was gonna go
after waking up Saturday morning 'N noticing my eyes were acting up once again;
BUTT!
Why must Indycar.com continuously FUCK AROUND
with their overly graphic intensive "Tokyo Fly-by-Night" website! Or
is that a rhetorical question?
And since I'm still mildly intrigued in
IndyCars, and more specifically who'll win this year's championship, I decided
to try once again listening to "LIVE" Qualie' calls via the
aforementioned Indycar.com - which I pretty much abhor 'N try visiting as
little as possible!
Hence, logging on at the requisite time of
11AM Pacific, imagine my DISGUST when I couldn't SEE the red "Play"
button on white background which has resided in the P.O.S. Live Timing &
Scoring page's upper right hand corner the past few seasons... Which was now
occupied by a Ginormous NBCSN Live Streaming Video banner instead; WTF? But I
do NOT wanna watch the "Peacock-lite" feed, as I'd been hoping to
LISTEN to the soothing tone of Paul Page instead...
So I looked 'N looked to NO avail - saying FUCK out loud to 'Lucy my ARSE-steamed
Screen Reader, as thy 'Confuzer's clock now read 11:06AM and the Qualie'
sessions are only 10mins apiece; SHEISA!
As oh, by the way,
have I reminded Y'all lately that I'm legally blind... Which Yuhs can read more
about in;
Thus as my anger rose towards the Retarded
Indycar.com website, I thought I'd go to my backup default website instead;
that being IndyCar Radio (dot) com, which has worked in the past, but strangely
every time I clicked on Listen Now absolutely NOTHING happened; URGH!
So I went back to Indycar.com and tried
hunting about some more and finally begrudgingly decided to click upon the
NBCSN Live Streaming link which took me to their website, which guess what; Gee
Wally! I couldn't figure out how to make that work either...
Hmm? Are Y'all sensing a pattern here? As why
in the name double Hockey Sticks; Err HELL!
Does everything need to be so teensy-weensy
graphically intensive symbol driven touch screen friendly BULLSHIT these days, Eh!
AnyHoo, while I could continue this theme on
'N on, some twenty-five minutes into qualifying and feeling overly frustrated,
I somehow miraculously spotted out of the corner of my eye's periphery a TINY
white circle on the solid black background centered above the names being
scored with an arrow symbol pointing to the
right... GAWD DAMMIT Indycar.com, knock this SHIT off! As guess what? I
couldn't track my cursor inside of my enlarged magnification screen area in
order to find the circle I'd errantly spotted moments earlier! Hmm? Why does
the words CIRCLE JERK come to mind
here, eh?
Having finally gotten to the circle and
clicking I-T at 11:27AM (Pacific) I finally
could hear Paul Page's voice after having missed the entire first two Qualie'
sessions up to their only being some one minute-plus remaining in Group-2; FUCK!
Otay, well at least I can listen to the rest
of I-T right? NOPE! The FRIGGIN' webcast Dumped just scant minutes into the
Top-12 qualifying session, and unlike in the past, refreshing the page did
NOTHING; FUCK!
So I closed the tab, which in my world means
the entire browser closes; URGH! Then re-logged onto Indycar.com again, clicked
the Live Timing & Scoring link, then fumbled, bungled 'N stumbled my way
into finding that overly non-descript and extremely difficult to SEE play symbol having lost some six-plus minutes doing all
of this, and then returned to Paul Page telling me there was less than 2mins left; SHEISA!
And this doesn't even take into consideration
that every single time they went to interview a driver, you could NOT hear
their comments, as the sound board operator scrambled to turn UP the volume
during every single interview, to which if I'd set my volume to be able to hear
them, then I'd have had my ears BLOWN OUT by Page, Pippa Mann and Mark James when they resumed speaking!
So does anyone care? Probably not, but I for
one find it 'Uber frustrating trying to follow a sport I've stayed committed to
for over a quarter century now, only to be continuously stymied by the series
Crackerjack webcast on a routine basis!
As I realize that I'm an insignificant spec
upon IndyCar's radar, especially since I'm in such an uniquely small demographic,
a la blind & visually impaired
spectators; BUTT! All of these yearly troubles of trying to follow the sport
from the Pacific Northwest, where IndyCar refuses to go - simply makes me NOT
wish to support either IndyCar or its television partners NBCSN and ABC; Oh
Never Mind! Chirp-Chirp?
