Yeah, the Peking ceremonies looked like they were computer controlled. I thought they were until I saw actual people. I might joke and MST3K these ceremonies but they are more human.

Danny Boyle likes the NHS. No accounting for taste.

I already watched the LIVE version over BBC. I’ll not spoil anything.

Matt Lauer very helpfully told us how proud the Brits are of the NHS.

Nice propagandizing for ObamaCare.
The Brits love their NHS so much they just had to incorporate it into the Opening Ceremony. Yeah, Right.
At least that's what the doofus from NBC recited on cue.

I can say without spoiling anything that NO torch-bearer on the telecast was seen kissing boy, girl, or anything.

And I think you’ll like how they light the cauldron.

There was a post earlier about the torch carrier kissing his boyfriend.
There was a post earlier about the torch carrier kissing his boyfriend.

It appears so:

Olympics: Torch bearer kisses his boyfriend as spectators cheer

I wonder what the Pole Vaulting event will look like this year....

You are assuming they were celebrating industrialism? The people in that segment looked like miserable slaves, didn’t appear to be a celebration...

Let me clarify: This is BEFORE the Opening Ceremonies. This was NOT shown on the BBC telecast.
