I was watching it in 3D and I have to say London is bad ass. I love traveling there but this summer would have been crazy to be there.

Haven't seen the whole opening ceremonies. Got home when the countries were coming out. Luckily, I recorded it and will watch tomorrow at some point.
Can't wait for McCartney to perform!

I'm either drunk or that was the biggest giant heap of shir opening ceremony ever!!!! Wow! What shit!
sure wasnt that great as Athens and Beijing or Sydney opening ceremony...
the tschnical part wa good,but the themes and the idea of the history wasnt that great...
but was cool to watch...and music was perfect

"Although NBC in the United States presented the entire opening ceremony from start to finish, a topless Minoan priestess was shown only briefly, the breasts having been pixelated digitally in order to avoid controversy (as the "Nipplegate" incident was still fresh in viewer's minds at the time) and potential fines by the Federal Communications Commission. Also, lower frontal nudity of men dressed as ancient Greek statues was shown in such a way that the area below the waist was cut off by the bottom of the screen. In most other countries presenting the broadcast, there was no censorship of the ceremony."

Don't worry man. That was my first reaction too. Then I thought he has been saying the exact same thing at every opening ceremony. But only in one country have the words a true meaning.

It's interesting cause I watched some live BBC feed this afternoon that was SO much better and not nearly as stupid, plus there were no commercials.

what an amazing ceremony, makes me proud to be of British ancestry, even though we did rebel,
he sounded old and tired.
