Ugh, Mr Bean.

[RedKing]

I always prefer to think of Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder.

[Sirus]

Suddenly, to the rescue! An army of Mary Poppinses.



Also, I find it amusing that here in Australia I get live footage, but you poor Americans don't. Weird.

They're still upset about that whole 1776-1781 thing. 

And yeah, you can bet your bubble and squeak that NBC is paying through the nose for broadcast rights. Which means they'd rather jealously fight any attempts by competitors to pre-empt their coverage, even online.

You'd thing the whole 1930's-1945 thing would have made up for it <_<;

Yes, 1930s. Americans had been loaning the Brits war material before we officially entered, you know.

Also, can you guys please spoiler this stuff?

Huh, apparently I have the same model of phone as Mr Bean. What a claim to fame.

I'll second the 'preferring Blackadder' thing, though.

[Detonate]

Wait, seriously? They aren't showing any of it, just recaps of the torch going down a river and some interviews from a km away from the stadium.

I finally found BBC (after my cable box threw a fit and needed restarting) and I missed it. Just a bunch of still images of some idyllic countryside.

For me, BBC is showing Doctor Who. Of course, I think I only have BBC America.

Try BBC World News, a few channels higher for me.

A few channels higher lands me at the Spanish channels and ESPNU, airing high school basketball and some other crap.

e: NBC sports is covering the Olympics... about Usain Bolt being the Jamaican flag bearer, and now Honduras vs. Morrocco. Breaks every 5 minutes or so... nice.

e2: I have the NBC Live Extra app. Except it's a broken piece of crap and won't let me log in.

[Loud Whispers]

1. Selling - to everyone, not loaning

 sure, the tech age thing is pretty odd

[Yoink]

Okay I am so confused right now.

No spoilers here, I don't really know what happened to the ceremony.

This music montage has the potential to be awesome...

[Digital Hellhound]

These radio hosts of mine keep talking over it, though.

What's with the spoilers? Just stop readin', fool.

[RedKing]

Right....well, I'm off for a bit, hope to watch the replay of it in a couple of hours.

[Yoink]

The mute button is looking more and more appealing...

Edit: Oh wait, that bit ended. Thank goodness.

[MonkeyHead]

Hmm, far too much "yooof" in there isn't there?

Heh, we invented the internet, dontchyaknow...

[Guardian G.I.]

The only thing I don't like about the opening ceremony is the enormous amounts of token minorities insertions.
Because, you know, black people were inhabiting Great Britain since the beginning of time.

You know that lots of Africans emigrate to Britian right? There are a million and a half black people in Britian. Are Native Americans a token minority to you?

[MonkeyHead]

Anyway, trying to keep this train on the rails...

Who decided David Beckham was a good person to pilot a jetboat down the Thames?
