Lauer and Costas said the country named, paused awkwardly, then talked about the 1992 Dream Team kicked their ass in basketball, laughed, mentioned Charles Barkley elbowed a guy, laughed again, and THAT WAS IT! Hell, if they had discussed the nation's history of civil war and human rights massacres it would of been less offensive.

Guest kokeboka Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Umbrellas, Paul McCartney, James Bond, Mr Bean and the royal family - one cliche after another. So the point of the opening cerimony was to reinforce stereotypes about britain in the most lavish way possible? They could've done so much better, that was a waste of time and money.

BCM Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) yeah, i don't get the hate (apart from the usual problem of every cunt being a critic these days and thinking everything is "shit" because it's the thing people believe they are expected to say in today's fucked up world). but anyway, it was the opening ceremony of a worldwide sporting event - of course it was going to be full of clichés and stereotypes! what's so wrong with that? i think it was really well done - dynamic and interesting to watch, funny in places (bond & HM the Q was wicked). i mean, nothing went wrong, it was performed brilliantly by the participants, the crowd appeared to be loving it and having a great time, it was spectacular and full of energy...i could go on. the only thing i didn't like was the fact they wheeled out macca yet again. i fucking hate macca.

J3FF3R00 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Sincere question. Did any of you Brits actually feel that this opening ceremony embodied anything of what is is to be "British"? I honestly enjoyed watching the Olympic countries' procession part the best. This really made me feel like the Beijing (however surreal and absurd) blew this one away. Tough act to follow, I guess.
