Things I learned from the closing of the olympic games
-That China tries way TOO hard. Fine China, we'll let you sit at our lunch table already.
-That commercialism and advertising is cool as long as the olympics are the ones getting the money. I wondered where the NCAA had learned this.
-That perhaps the best thing for a city with major air quality problems isn't a ton of fireworks and a giant flame.
-That I don't need to see ANYONE else in tights or speedos that aren't athletes.
-That the two most famous people from the UK are apparently Beckham and Jimmy Page.
-Jimmy Page is old as dirt.
-Becks is a douche. (come on, we all knew that already)
-The mayor of london is a goober and possibly mentally handicapped.
-That it's apparently cool to show your diversity by having people pretend to be handicapped and then get out of their wheelchair to dance.
-That perhaps the best way to show how cool of a city London might be is probably not to indicate that it's constantly raining and full of poor people. There is no need for truth in advertising on this one.
-That too much symbolism in the form of writhing masses of dudes is kind of creepy.
-That pop stars from any country annoy the hell out of me.
-That I guess it's probably easier to put on a kick ass show with no apparent safety restrictions.
-That starving people and oppression of the masses mean nothing as long as you can put on a good show.
