Holy shit they made the stadium into a fucking waterfall :lol

 

[Shiggie]

I feel so inadequate.

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!

...still not good enough

 

[TDG]

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.

 

[EphemeralDream]

Any streams of the ceremony? I got bad reception for NBC and I'd much rather watch this on my hi-res monitor.

 

[Hootie]

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

 

[Keylime]

I fucking knew ninjas still existed...fucking knew it!

There is no way in hell that London will be able to top this in 2012.

Perfect circles man, that's crazy!!

 

[Hootie]

MORE COMMERCIALS?! Wow. Just wow. Way to ruin the most awesomest shit ever, NBC.

There's a reason they made over $1 Billion from advertising

 

[Sax Russel]

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"

 

[vas_a_morir]

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."

 

[Hootie]

....whoa.

 

[StoOgE]

london citizens can say whats on their mind and not go to jail: london wins!

Nope, this globe wins even over that.

 

[Ripclawe]

Mind = BLOWN

Haha, those planners must be on suicide watch by now.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

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.

 

[Hootie]

Who the hell is this fat chinese dude singing next to that possibly hot girl? :lol

 

[vas_a_morir]

Who the hell is this fat chinese dude singing next to that possibly hot girl? :lol

The crowd owned him pretty hard just now.

 

[skybaby]

Haha good thing you guys can now watch the HD madness that opening was. I wanted to sexor my tv this morning.

 

[Zapages]

Who the hell is this fat chinese dude singing next to that possibly hot girl? :lol

I guess his dream coming true...

Anyway wow at the globe/sun and everything so far...

 

[Butane123]

Haha good thing you guys can now watch the HD madness that opening was. I wanted to sexor my tv this morning.

No kidding. I think my jaw just popped off awhile ago watching this.

 

[Karakand]

[MIMIC]

!!!

Stunning opening ceremony

 

[Ether_Snake]

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.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

one thing i love about asian woman, they don't hit that old brick wall til later in life.

 

[Hootie]

u serious? :lol

When the hell did this take place?

 

[Won]

wat

This isn't live?

: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.

 

[Chris R]

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

 

[X26]

Best opening ceremony ever, can't wait to see what they'll do for the closing

and oh yea...there's events happening too huh, ehh, whatever, womens beach volleyball and gymastics is allyou need to see

 

[X26]

When the hell did this take place?

Friday morning, 6 or 7am EST

 

[Formless]

Really great with their large pool of culture available. London will probably be bland.

 

[Meier]

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...

 

[Incognito]

shorter bob costas: "all you athletes suck -- except for the ones that usually win"

what a douchebag

 

[Hootie]

Turkmenistan's suits are uh....unique.

 

[mre]

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.

 

[GenericPseudonym]

You Americans will be in for a treat when the torch lighting comes.

Oh for your benefit, China is 12 hours ahead of EDT.

 

[Karakand]

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

THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND US

Malawi is now reduced to a celebrity foster home...thanks NBC

Yeah CBC focused on the flag bearer and their history.

 

[Hootie]

Commercials during the march of nations...that's just great.
