    Olympic opening ceremony WTF

    In The Guardian Olympic opening ceremony will recreate countryside with real animals
    ...
    A village cricket team, 12 horses, 10 chickens, 70 sheep, a model of Glastonbury Tor, two mosh pits and the largest harmonically tuned bell in the world are among the sights that will greet the world when the curtain comes up on the London Olympics, it has been revealed.

    The surreal vista of a "green and pleasant land", with giant maypoles representing the symbols of the four nations of the UK around which children will dance, is the scene for the opening sequence of Danny Boyle's £27m opening ceremony extravaganza.
    ...
    Either this is a wind up or Seb Coe is doing a lot of Charlie.
    That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

    No five gold rings and a peasant stuck up a tree?

    I hope he's thought to include a mini Footlocker and some looters.

    Did I just see the figure of £27m just now?

    £27m for an erstaz 'village fete'. The Hundred Years War cost less than that.

    I think the people in charge of the Olympics have lost it. The thing looks like a Teletubbies set. They have no idea.....they make the shittest logo ever.....they get some immigrant to design and build a tower that looks like it should be in a scrap yard and now this. I don't think they live in the real world. Oh and all the stuff is made in China, so its not bringing a great amount of revenue to the UK.

    As I have said previously on a similar thread; the only thing about the whole Olympic fuckasco that gave me any pleasure was the simultaneous broadcast from Paris when all the frogs heard 'London' and not Paris. The only thing that could possibly have improved on that would have been a slight pause and ... 'Nah, only joking it's Paris!!!!!'
    I'll be glad when I've chopped this bloody carrot!

    That is brilliant! All they need now is a model railway chuffing round it.

    Excerpt from The Four Slappers of the Apocalypse.

    And when I had opened the fourth beer, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

    And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and her that sat on him was the wife, and Hell followed with her......
