Olympics Opening Ceremony!!!!! WOW

[slysteeler]

Rich countries are focusing on frivolously, pointless competition instead of trying to end world hunger. Oh and they spend loads on pointless ceremonies that add nothing to the games themselves. The money could go to a much better cause.

I think the olympics is actually a good thing, with countries getting together and competing peacefully. I'm all for ending poverty and hunger as well, but it's nice to see countries co-exist peacefully for a bit.

Beijing's opening ceremony blew this one out of the water, but London's ceremony was still entertaining.

I thought the Beijing one was better, but I liked the ending when they put up the cauldron thing.

I thought it was great, Thought the scene with James Bond and the queen was top. Felt it was going to be a bit dodgy at the start tbh, but couldn't be more prouder to be English.

To be honest the ceremony was depressing and sort of boring. (INB4 you don't understand history). I think that it focused on all the wrong points for example the Industrial Revolution,Marry Poppins, etc... I believe that the Olympics opening Ceremony should be dedicated to athletes and sports and not the history of a host country, but hey that's my opinion and I personally thought that it wasn't as good as Beijing or even Athens.
