“The hotels are lousy. The Olympic village is a mess. The food is horrible. And, well, that’s what happens when you tick off gay people.” –David Letterman

“The Olympics start Friday and Russia’s implementing the most intensive security in Olympics history. The government will monitor every email. They will monitor every social media message and they will listen in on every phone call. In fact, people are now comparing Russia to the United States. That’s how bad it is.” –Jay Leno

“Today, the Olympic torch arrived in Sochi. But Vladimir Putin immediately put it out because he thought it was too flaming.” –Conan O’Brien

“Germany just unveiled its rainbow-colored Olympic uniforms, which seem to be a subtle protest against Russia’s anti-gay laws. You can tell how much the world has changed when Germans are the ones who are saying, ‘Discrimination is just wrong.'” –Jimmy Fallon

“Russia also has the Winter Olympics, and that’s a big mess too because, you know, Russia is really, really anti-gay. You know this? Seriously, they said they would arrest any Olympic athletes for “promoting” homosexuality. In a related story, figure skating has been canceled.” –Bill Maher

2012 Olympic opening ceremonies

Posted on July 27, 2012 By admin

Really liking the opening ceremonies. The British history bit was cool, and you know, SHEEP!!! The drummers during the industrial revolution rocked. And word to the deaf drum leading lady!

Then there was the whole Mary Poppins vs Voldemort bit.  They really did it! The music section was good, though disappointed with no Pink Floyd. Squeeee for Sir Tim and giggles for Mr Bean. Bit bummed I haven’t seen a Dalek yet :-(

The parade of countries is always the boring bit though. I like one of the comments from Katy’s FB that thinks that “half of the countries sound made up”.

I just really hope that Becks isn’t the one to light the cauldron. The man is a smug prat.

Quote of the day

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
