WSJ Covers The Olympics On The Cheap With Homemade Highlights YouTube Series

"NBC paid over $1 billion to broadcast the Olympics. The Wall Street Journal paid…less." That’s how the WSJ describes their DIY-style homemade Olympic highlights series, "Homemade Highlights."

“NBC paid over $1 billion to broadcast the Olympics.  The Wall Street Journal paid…less.”  That’s how the WSJ describes their DIY-style homemade Olympic highlights series, “Homemade Highlights.”

The kitschy style of “Homemade Highlights” is surprising, especially coming from the Wall Street Journal, but that’s what makes it so awesome.  Glue, construction paper, pipe cleaners, clothespins, pompoms and little cutouts of Olympians’ faces are used to recap some of the highlights of the 2012 London Games.

If you’ve watched any of the NBC coverage you’ve probably noticed all the copyright notices letting viewers know that the Olympic footage can not be used in any way without the express permission of the Olympic committee.
