Those were not actually people, they were holographs. Thats why they could dance for so long.

I was enjoying the whole epic mood.

 It contrasted way too much with the rest of the stuff in my opinion. We went from natives on ice flows to a hundred Irish looking punks wearing torn plaid shirts, denim, tattoos, tap dancing, playing the fiddle, and just generally looking furious with their bad haircuts. Wat.

Yup your right, you know all about me from my comment about wanting to see some beavers in this ceremony. You dont understand how ridiculous you are making yourself look for bitching at me like that.

You are just trying to get a rise with your childish comments and lack of respect for our country and all of its national icons.

good observation, guy with zero K. Now admit it, you overreacted and went overkill. All you have to justify your comment about me being ungrateful and not supporting the economy is, I wanted to see some beavers incorporated in this ceremony.

I really fucking hate NBC. It is always about the east coast. West coast gets boned. Vancouver is 2 hours from here, but we can only watch it with tape delay. With no Canadian coverage available down here (which there has been in the past), that means ultra boned.

Oh, and to the Beijing>Vancouver ceremony comment: winter olympics are far less extravagant than the summer olympics. In addition, considering the Beijing olympics were... ~$40 billion, and the vancouver olympics are supposedly ~$6-$7 billion, I think that comparison is moot.

Let me reiterate "You are just trying to get a rise with your childish comments" (you said this)

See what you've done to yourself?

I apologize to anyone who had to read this idiotic conversation.
