Just a week to go until we embarrass ourselves in front of the world.
Millions (Billions?) of Pounds and what do we get? A stadium with (inexplicably) a strange vision of the English countryside in it (

[link] which is not and never will be a monument "as iconic as the Eiffel Tower".
Commedian Marcus Brigstocke described the British attitude toward the Olympics quite well a few years ago:
[link]Truth be told: I've never been that fussed when it comes to the Olympics, regardless of where in the world it's held. It's just this time I'll be thinking "NO! Who greenlit that? They did WHAT during the opening ceremony? Where's that Boyle bastard? I'm gonna kill him".
...........AND WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT THE VOLLYBALL PLAYERS BEING
FORCED TO WEAR
SHORTS???!!!
But in all honesty; I actually bloody enjoyed it. Yeah there were a few things that I feel weren't portrayed well enough or a few things that they should have added in; but all in all I was pleasantly surprised. I'd rather not think about the budget or anything like that; because we were trying to figure out why the hell they'd need so much money when there were so many volunteer's involved ¬_¬
Someone please destroy that godawful ...thing already its a crime aganist art everywhere
I loved the Olympics held in China and no offense to the British but I was expecting a lot more than this and WTF were they smoking when they built that abomination of a tower it looks like a twisted candycane!

...No one know what I'm talking about, do they?
