The Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London has begun. It will begin televising in the U.S. in NOW!!!
The $41 million presentation entitled "Green and Pleasant" will reportedly involve more than 10,000 volunteers, 100 farm animals, mosh pits, electronic music, rain-making machines, and Paul McCartney of course.
At 7 p.m. ET, join our gold-medal sports columnist Alistair Cookie along with our major avatar icon, 'dcrelief' who will watch and not provide commentary as the big event unfolds on the U.S. of A. Hey we'rer not stupid... we came to see the stuff, not yack all night!!
And at just gone one in the morning, the opening ceremony has ended. Wasn't that nice of me to have it cater to a decent time for you folks to watch it.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey Alistair and "dcrelief", we have 24 extra BBC channels totally dedicated to the Olympics. That way, I can watch rhythmic gymnastics! Yay!
Enjoy your weekend :)
Sir klahanie... Alistair here!!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe, after they dragged me off the London Eye, the show did not start until 7:30pm?? The audacity of the American television broadcasters. It was bad enough they made us wait... I mean, why not watch it with the Brits?? After all, we are here... aren't we?? dc?? hello?? calling London??
By for now sir! Big Al.
