Which part of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies did you like best? Was it the plutocrats murdering the workers in the Industrial Revolution, or the pagans calling forth their gods with sacrificial virgins and maypoles? Was it the reference to the Industrialization of War? Was it the stunning black British girl texting, or the dorky boy in the bowler trying to smush on her about as convincingly as Michael Jackson stalking the lady through the alley in
We had our own commentators on CTV, who were very low-key and unobnoxious. We also saw THE WHOLE THING. Okay, a couple of countries got missed on commercial breaks.
Try this: <a href="http:\/\/www.ctvolympics.ca\/videos\/channel\/ctv\/watch\/opening-ceremony-6532.html" target="_blank">ctv.ca</a> If it doesn&#039;t work for you, it&#039;s one of those won&#039;t-play-in-this-region deals, I guess (like NBC for us in Canada). ps. If this does work, don&#039;t freak out when there&#039;s a commercial a dozen minutes in. It may be the only one; certainly there are very few.
Lord. I&#039;ve been reading the articles with people complaining about that. What a pity; it&#039;s a beautiful concept, AND visually beautiful as well.
From the Blaze article: <i>&quot;As with any government-run system, more wealthy citizens have a higher level of mobility within the system, and are more able to obtain a higher quality of care than others. It is thus that the NHS has led to increased inequality in care received by Britons.&quot;</i>
Classic dumbmerican tweet: &quot;You guys are getting like every single word of <i>My Country &#039;Tis Of Thee</i> wrong.&quot;
Oh, for fuck&#039;s sake. They&#039;re claiming that wealth is an advantage in &quot;government-run systems&quot;? What, it&#039;s not an advantage in private systems?
Honestly, I have trouble deciding whether to be more upset about the fact that there are assholes willing to spout such disingenuous bullshit, or the fact that there are people who are so uninterested in reality that they are willing to believe it.

I&#039;m afraid that means you&#039;re SOL. It&#039;s like I can&#039;t watch Comedy Central or NBC online here in Canada.
Any reference to Bob and Ray is a good thing.
I didn&#039;t watch it -- did Lauer actually say &quot;google him&quot; about Sir Tim? &#039;cause that would be, what, meta-ironic?
oops.

I&#039;m in favor of an IQ test in order to get an IP address.

Totally unlike the U.S., right Glenn?

Tommy Douglas is my hero. There&#039;s a reason he was chosen as &quot;The Greatest Canadian&quot;.
S&#039;okay. I&#039;ve got thousands of apple trees around my house, so maybe the poppy cross-pollinated.
I would pay to see that.
Is anyone criticizing the torch? That was beautifully done, I agree. And the rings- that was really visually stunning.
