a little bit on the ostentatious side of things

I'm sorry, Chinese Olympics. You've worked so long and hard, but your opening ceremony JUST MADE ME LOL. It was 50% this shit is bananas (b-a-n-a-n-a-s), 50% imagining the faces of the UK Olympic Committee

Yes, thank you. The hubs was all ooooh, pretty, and I kept thinking, its just a sports show. And wondering about all the poverty and shit going on in China (and poverty and shit happens everywhere, I'm not picking on China) and it just was weird and ostentatious and a bit... cruel.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who went WTF?

I just can't take things seriously when it involves extras from Star Trek dangling from the ceiling covered in fairy lights. VERY PRETTY FAIRY LIGHTS, but still.

Tbh, all the expenses of the Olympics squick me out a bit. But then, I get frowny when we spend a lot of money on the Queen's birthday. I'M JUST CYNICAL. (Actually, the Queen's birthday expenses are probably more deserving of frowny faces than the Olympics'. AT LEAST THE OLYMPICS DOES SOMETHING.)

Naaah dude. We need to have Harry Potter hunting foxes on horseback with a cup of tea in his hand.

FOR THIS IS ALL ENGLAND IS COMPOSED OF.
