I'm an American too. However, this Olympics is in London not New York. Pipe down.

The next American Olympics, LeBron and surprise - Elvis jump out of a helicopter. Which it really wasn't them to jump but who cares? Singing of some song with the word King in the title ensues. Sound dumb? Yeah, my thoughts exactly although I'm sure it'd be amazing just that Elvis is alive.

MY GURL JK ROWLING

 

[Jamesways]

Well, they DO present the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade afterall.

 

[Adamm]

[Firemind]

[DECK'ARD]

Loving it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Public healthcare leads to rampant, unchecked softshoe.

[Ohwiseone]

That's exactly what it does. And it is. It's a glorious thing. The NHS is the thing I'm most proud of being British. It isn't perfect, but no matter how my life goes, no matter If i fall into poverty and destitution I will always have the chance of saving my health, free at the point of service by dedicated hard working people, who do it not so much for the money but to really make a difference.

If Fox news choose to attack it, then I pity them.

They will, because they need something to attack during the Olympics, they will probably say how the hate all of the "togetherness" that the Games show.

It will start monday morning.

[Salvadora]

Going to sleep now but just note this down for future. The Paraguayan chick everyone is going to point out when she walks in the stadium.

Her name is Leryn Franco. She competes in the javelin. We knew about her after Beijing but seems people forget easily. Heck, she's even done a sports illustrated shoot.

Remember this? This is why America can't have nice things; the Atlanta Olympics were a joke.

 

[pargonta]

alot of musical cues in the hospital part from the exorcist theme no? kinda neat.

[Ohwiseone]

[Xeke]

[Levyne]

Commentary is so bad. The comparisons to a parade is spot on.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Mary Poppins vs. Voldemort

I can imaging the fics now.

 

[twobear]

alot of musical cues in the hospital part from the exorcist theme no? kinda neat.

but, now it's guitar heavy.

That would be because it is the music that was used as the Exorcist theme.

 

[Seda]

OMG SHUT UP

 

[RangersFan]

LOL after Beijing all opening ceremonies look like crap by comparison.

 

[metalslimer]

This commentary is the worst. Fucking America

 

[Phanatic8390]

Hey guys, did you know a bad dream is also know as a "Nightmare"? Thanks NBC!

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

NBC is making this worse than a Thanksgiving Day parade.

 

[Oozer3993]

On a related note, WHERE IS MY MERRY POPPINS BLU-RAY DISNEY?

 

[djplaeskool]

Remember this? This is why America can't have nice things; the Atlanta Olympics were a joke.

Ali lighting the torch is one of the most prolific moments in sport.

 

[Gray Man]

Remember this? This is why America can't have nice things; the Atlanta Olympics were a joke.

[shadyspace]

Remember this? This is why America can't have nice things; the Atlanta Olympics were a joke.

[Jamesways]

Please tell me they have the Pink Floyd Hammers marching at some point!

 

[ColtraineGF]

"I think Poppins won this one"

thanks, I needed to know that

Did Mary Poppins just defeat Voldermort? What am i..

Her umbrella actually has a phoenix feather as its core.

 

[pargonta]

That would be because it is the music that was used as the Exorcist theme.

well that would be it.
