Why are they purposely trying to frighten those children?!

Haha. Insecure Americans.
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. -
Hahahhahaha I called Mary Poppins.

Bingo Jim was BINGO on, you jingoistic ,myopic microenchephalytic morons have NO IMAGINATION. Whhere do you work? What have you run? What work of art have you ever produced? Have you ever met Danny Boyle? I'm sure he'd. Love to hear your opinion face to face. Then he would rip it off....

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...
-
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...

It's nice to see the Brits embrace their whole Australian heritage with that Mary Poppins bit.

I was thinking this too. There were moments that really made me think of the Stonehenge part of Spinal Tap. -
Where's the parade of Silly Walks?

OK, I'm enjoying the Bean part

Ukunathleticcoach you are the biggest d-bag to grace this forum. Go eat some mash and get your teeth fixed, we'll get back to you after the Games.

Can't believe you sheeple actually watch that crap. I feel less lame doing laundry and drinking a beer alone.

They parachuted the Queen in what more do you want?
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. -
Did they at least play a bunch of cool Pink Floyd music?!

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. -
Where's Dr. Who?

The only thing that could salvage this is a Sex Pistols reunion including Sid rising from the dead.

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.
