It's completely ludicrous xD. London is being represented here, not Britain.

I hope there's an epic finish though after all this strange randomness. However they did get kids in pajamas to sing the anthem... So I'm not counting on it.

We probably could have afforded all of those nurses if it wasn't for the Olympics.

I seriously bet China's laughing their asses off.

How do you do worse than a developing nation >.>

All joking aside, opening ceremony should've just been 2hour concert of Led Zepplin, and the Who, playing.

Im liking it so far. It is visually impressive just like the last one but in a completely different way. I dont get people complaining about the dancing or akward moments and then praising beijing...the last one had the same (or even more) dancing and akward moments just like we're having here.

Maybe because people are not familiar with asian/chinese history, the other one seemed something other than...well the history lesson that it was.

Although could have been worse, they could have got Andrew Lloyd Webber to direct this lol!
