So wait, they did that last part to represent the Chinese hobby of Tai Chi? So will the next American olympics have sections of the opening ceremony devoted to our hobbies, like eating snack foods, watching television, playing videogames, and masturbating?

They can just show Idiocracy for the opening ceremony to accomplish that.

Damn, good thing we have guns now because if we got into a war with China without them, we'd get our asses kicked :lol

Man...your name really is true.
 
Haha, I see it's been posted multiple times, but as I was watching this last bit, I was definitely feeling pity for the London Olympic planners, who must have been watching and thought "Awww fuck"
 
This is the most pompous display i've ever seen. Seriously, get over yourself, China.

"Here we have children, symbolic of those orphaned by the Chinese Government."

Seriously though, China threw this shit DOWN. London is like "oh fuck, forget the chav parade."

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I had read that the Chinese were going to go all out for this ceremony. All out is subjective to a lot of people but I think that it is safe to say that they have shitted on all comers, past and future with this. I have homework to do but this is too amazing to miss.

I didn't even know this was today. Tomorrow's my birthday!

But I don't give a damn about the Olympics. It's boring, and who cares about nationalism anymore.

:lol

But that reminds me.....I hope there will some kind of HD download of this thing. Missed the beginning and had to leave after the painting part. But what I saw was amazing.

so I'm watching live shit instead of waiting for the opening thingy that is only like 15 hours old or whatever now.

But for some reason I couldn't use my local nbc settings, so instead I'm pretending that I live in West LA and get my tv via Time Warner :lol just changing that let me watch shit live :lol

Also, was thinking that the opening would have commercials :(

When the hell did this take place?
5:08 AM Pacific or something? Started at 8:08 local time in China.

I'm kind of amazed how someone could think this was live despite being on the other side of the world and at night...

I just want to watch the ceremony. I don't need to hear Bob Costas joking about Big Macs.

I agree. It would be better if these guys just shut up and let us enjoy the ceremony.
