Seriously between Mr Bean, Voldemort and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, that was a ridiculous waste of time.

I love Mr. Bean.

I love Mr. Bean.

Of course you do.

Czech uniform made up for any and all deficiencies in the ceremony.

The thing is the creator deliberately wasn't trying to top China, he just wanted to do it in his own style. That was his intent in the opening ceremony.
I liked it, more focus on the people not on fancy special effects.

Well first of all the fancy special effects in the China opening ceremonies were people. The drums, the moving box thing, etc. A far distant cry from queen leaping from a helicopter.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood is not a representation of the best of British music.

It was terrible. And the "digital love story?" *yak* For all the hype it was really embarrassing.

Mr. Bean was funny tho

[beatitude]

It was awful and hilarious. I loved it.

You foreign types will never understand our national humour, or our marvellous sense of style. Such a proud moment when the team walked out looking like a cross between Elvis Presley and a moon landing.

I thought it was very confusing and boring. I wish they had done something else! Mr. bean was funny though...

If you want British humor, then why wasn't any of the Monty Python troupe involved? Now THAT would have been funny!

I have no clue what you people are talking about. What happened that involved Mr. Bean? I wouldn't care if Mr. Bean had not been involved, but alas Rowan Atkinson always catches my attention. "If I am elected growing a beard will be a federal crime."

FYI this is just assumed now on every thread.

Ok. Critical thinking problem. What do China *cough, Beijing* and all things British *cough, London* have in common that is a current topic of conversation?

Why would Mr. Bean do stand-up at the Olympics? I've never seen the Olympics before, but I was almost certain it was about sports. When I watched it for ten seconds today all I saw was this guy in a store talking about these particular kind of shoes. I thought it was a commercial for a second but it wasn't.

Untrue. I have been on discussions that were about The Lord of the Rings before. Trust me, there's not much you can say that I will not understand when it comes to The Lord of the Rings.
