Red Alert: Vancouver Olympic Opening Ceremony Envy

openingceremony.jpg

Now that there has been a few days for the hype to die down, can we take a moment and just talk about how ridiculous the opening ceremony was for the 2008 Beijing Olympics? Did it blow your mind? So what does this mean for our little Olympic games?

1. Um. How can I say this delicately. You poor bastards. Whoever is leading/doing the opening ceremony to the 2010 Vancouver games should just quit now. You will be remembered forever as a complete failure. Just stop. Now. Unless this fireworks fiasco story is remembered. But really who cares if some of the fireworks were digitally enhanced. Its hopeless.

2. More Damning Evidence, The Opening Ceremony Budget breakdown: In Beijing: $100 million. Set for Vancouver, well we've budgeted $58 Million for all ceremonies. Thanks, China. Overachievers.

3. Seriously. We're doomed. Damn you Stupid technology.

4. The Birdsnest vs. BC Place. Wow, that seems like kind of ill-advised choice now doesn't it kids? Maybe it will be good, because we'll be able to keep the smog out. Oh, never mind.

5. Worst. Olympic. Stadium. Ever. Unless: We Hire Michael Bay, Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, and possibly Nigel Lythgoe from So you think you can Dance and give them $200 million and you might have a chance. And of course, at the end, they simple blow BC Place sky high after a giant dance number. Better start sourcing like 5,000 drummers.
