RE: Worst opening ceremony for anything I've ever seen in my life.

Am I the only one that was hoping that the Queen would flash her royal boobs for some Olympic beads?

Yes, the Americans love their pro-US pro military opening ceremonies. Of course we were all puking at Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Sorry, but the U.S. wasn't involved in combat activities in 1984. Since then, the world provoked us and left us no choice but to respond.

He borrowed that from Eddie Murphy, who wore it in the critically acclaimed "Coming to America".

What an absolute riot, listening to a bunch of Yanks trying to comprehend anything. Okay, only 80 % of you are total f***ing idiots, the rest at least try to understand something from beyond the border. Well done, Brits, excellent ceremony!

You've got to be kidding. You wander.

This ceremony was/is DAFT.

All you need to know is that when they cut to the Queen, she was so bored she was picking at her finger-nails.

Was hoping the Pythons would make an appearance, perhaps for a little Olympic hide and seek.

Hey, they just said Mitt's wife has a horse in the Olympics! Is that fascinating or what? And she brought a couple of Cadillacs over with her cuz those English cars are way too small.

Why are the US athletes wearing pussie suites from Ralph Lauren? Why don't they were something that we actually wear in the US... like a nice suit and tie or some kakis and a polo??

What is a "pussie suite"?

Is that a special room in the Olympic dorms?

I liked Mr. Bean. Tuned out for the rest of it - way too complicated and confusing.

Olympics should tone it down, with simple, dignified (and much less expensive) ceremonies. It's turned into a Super Bowl sort of fiasco. Most of us just want to see the events, and have them narrated by competent, articulate announcers. Simplicity is better.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but would someone please give Sir Paul the hook?

Actually she chose her husband wisely. Try to keep up.

What do you when by "actually she chose her husband wisely?" She is the royal, he married into the royal family - not vice versa. Please tell me you are being sarcastic?

Every nation wants to claim the biggest and baddest Olympic opening.
