        You clearly haven't seen the opening ceremonies then...

        And American's are anything but insecure.

        Deluded maybe, but not insecure.

        The Brits are the insecure group, for sure, especially about their teeth.

      • This opening ceremony seemed more like a parody of what a stereotypical show about Great Britain...I felt like I was watching something being created in a Christopher Guest film...

      • London sucks
      • Even winter olympic ceremonies have been more exciting than this. I don't get it, London has so much going for them. They could have put on a better show than this. Maybe we were expecting something similar to Beiging, but this wasn't even a quarter as good as Beiging. Really dissapointing. Chinese can definitley throw a better party than the Brits...

        I was thinking this too. There were moments that really made me think of the Stonehenge part of Spinal Tap.

        Ever hear of a body double? GHW Bush would jumped himself. AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A QUEEN. She's just an old hag with no job who happened to choose her parents wisely. At least Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Kim Kardashian have held jobs.

        That whole beginning with a bunch of Abe Lincoln impersonators prancing around a mini-golf course was a bit strange. But they totally lost me when they followed that with an apparent tribute to air pollution. I mean, WTF? At least the Queen's entrance was somewhat entertaining.
        'Abe Lincoln' was actually Isambard Kingdom Brunel (portrayed by Sir Kenneth Brannagh) and the sequence in which he featured was a tribute to the Industrial Revolution which, as I'm sure you know, began in Britain.

      • I knew americans just wouldn't get it - I'm glad it wasn't a cheese fest like 84 and 96. We knew we would never match Beijing in terms of the military style mass coordination of people - we wanted to do our own thing. It was a celebration of Britishness and went down well in the UK.
