The Closing Ceremony

it didn't do that... it just added minutely to the sum total of mediocre, dull misery in the world.

If it's any consolation your butt-hurt reaction made me laugh, so that probably balances it out.

i don't think you really laughed... i think you sat grim-faced at your computer trying to think of further ways to suck joy out of the world.

It's very clever, though, that superimposition of the OTO symbol on the image of the phoenix.

One thing was diabolical for sure. The inclusion in the ceremony of the boy group One Direction with their irritating and instantly forgettable wishy washy pulp pop bollox of a song. If anything that was put there to get people thinking about how appropriate a human sacrifice would be at the Olympics. Why just have one when you could lay on a whole firing squad.

One direction are quite used to being told what to wear. It's in their contract. "You will wear whatever silly clothes the multinational deems appropriate". It would have been easy to get them to wear blind folds and stand against a wall.

A close second was that goulish dantesque-like nasal whining rendition from that other git...

Oh yes - it's amazing how far people will insist on stretching things to back up a pet theory. Sadly, there will be people taking that clip at face value.
