Although he did have a brutal neckbeard I thought that the poem was pretty well done.

I was thinking the exact same thing while watching it. That lighting combined with Cirque du Soleil performers would be incredible

Of course they dont, Beijing's budget for their opening ceremony is greater
then the entire VANOC budget for the entire olympics

This man sounds like a chick. Regardless, he can really belt it. I love this song. So much soul.

My only problem with this is that all of the songs being performed are such buzzkills.

Did you honestly expect these opening ceremonies to be in any way comparable to Beijing?

The torch thing failed miserably.

God, I'm glad we didn't build the AVRO Arrow.

Alright, I'm back. That was a BAD shit. One of the ones where it comes out before you sit down and bounces off the toilet bowl rim. Just kept coming and coming. Did I miss it?

The announcers are talking about wayne having a "special torch" because it is lasting so long meanwhile they did not notice that he switched it like three times.

the hanging skier things appeared to be wearing the red full tilts from this season. dont hate for ridin FTs dick though, im serious.

projection is baller as fuck, all of it fo sho.

the first nation dancing stuff looks like crip walking. ive noticed this trend whenever i see native americans do presentations around my hometown as well.

Epic fail. And that was such a rad way to finish it, too. Though if I had to pick one guy to light the thing it`d have to be Rick Hansen, the others are all great athletes, but that man is a bona fide hero. Nice touch having him bring it into the stadium.

ate a brownie before i watched them. i was like "wow this sucks" until I got baked. Interestingly enough this happened right as shit got weird so the moons kind of aligned on that one.

because of my condition, i think that the opening ceremonies were the COOLEST FUCKING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. the part where the whales were coming out of the ground? yea, fucking insane. the fiddle shit was intense too, reminded me of home.

the only thing i didn't like was that the giant ice cock went flacid and didn't come up. if the structure had worked, i would have deemed the ceremonies FLAWLESS.

that is all.
