ok, first the good. the whales, swimming through the stadium - holy shit that was amazing....BUT what the fuck was that tap dancing moron doing? as ever, it's annoying being forced to listen to everything in french, and seriously, who are we kidding, the people in quebec can get by with english.the olympic IOC president, jacques rogges - complete asshole, and what a stiff, the guy has no personality. what else??
then there was the epic failure of the hydrolic lift on the cauldron, what a spectacular fuck up of canadian engineering. jesus, i hope the moron who designed that thing lost their job.and the awkward look on everyones face as they waited for this thing to come, that never would. ouch.
oh yeah all the first nation stuff, ok that was necessary but a little obligatory and then the performances...well they were just ok. brian adams and nelly furtado looked about as comfortable together as a match and a box of TNT, and KD Langs hallelujah was not uplifting or appropriate at all, it was somber and sad.
when all was said and done at the end i was "is that it?" like having sex with a girl you've wanted to fuck for a long time, and realizing that it wasn't everything you thought it would be so too are the olympic opening ceremonies. and like the long time to find your pants, and get dressed, look for your keys and then the awkward goodbye after the lay...so too was the idiotic ending which saw wayne gretzky walk out of the stadium and then drive through the streets of vancouver on the back of a truck, in the pouring rain and light another cauldron - this time a functioning one.
