Im still in amazement that Arnold did the final torch. . . . Was there honestly no body else…
Also, he has used steriods, and is a governor for cali…

I am in Greece the contry where the Olympics originated from and a place that makes a huge deal of the Olympic games!
… Guess what?
2010Winter Olympics opening Ceremony … not even televised!!!
I was so pissed off! … And for some stupid reason the 2 live streaming websites I use to watch all the sports and shows from Canada and USA didn’t have it either! The one had it but the link didn’t work… I was sooooo pissed last night.
But by the sounds of things it doesn’t look like i missed anything good! So I feel much better now.

World opinion= Holy Canada Fail, like this years snow fall, or the Olympic planning and budgetting, or like Canada’s medal earning which should be equal parts fail. Fail uniforms and attire from HBC.
“Come buy our official Canadian Olympic wear, we promise it will look just as shifty as the Canadian opening ceremony.”-HBC
I heard of plenty of Olympic fail, but this amount of holy Canada fail? Never would have dreamed of it.

some things in life are open to debate, and that’s cool and all.
but in this case, i have not heard ONE person say they liked it, in fact anyone who had anything to say about it made it very obvious that it was one of the biggest pile of shit they’ve ever seen
and i agree

We were trashed while watching it, but did CBC not actually cover most of the ceremony?
I remember having to switch to CTV or something to get it, and yeah it was complete garbage.
