£27 million of public money squandered in the space of just a few hours. What a f***ing waste.

Watching the opening ceremony right now, Iain Sinclair is absolutely right who was on Channel 4 News last night.
I admire the efforts of all the people involved, however, it is a mass hallucination done by William Barrows and Charles Saatchi as Sinclair described.
You know the little music/Internet/love story bit? I got lost when they'd cut to footage of people in a house. An old white man and black sisters or whatever. It got lost. I think even our American commentators narrating didn't know what the hell was going on. Loved the moulten metal and the Mary Poppins part.
We're finally just seeing the Olympians. It's a long ceremony. Shit.
I would imagine little cost for what the events brought in revenue and taxes. But thn again I believe what the television tells me

Should of been Roger Moore!
Look how gorgeous Paraguay's outfits were!
It it the dress or the hot lady you are admiring? Come on now.
She's carrying a rosary so it's wholesome to admire her stunning looks.
Haha.
Wow, you are good at noticing details. Didn't see that myself.
After reading your lovely review I got to thinking about the ceremony. I thought the way they did the torch was very clever. I'm pretty sure EVERYBODY said "What the hell are those cornucopia things the kids in front of the countries are carrying?" US announcers didn't say. Then it made sense and they all came together. Very well done and an excellent treatment for an eternal flame. Random pieces that make sense eventually.
