foodie52 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Britkitsch I loved it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foodie52 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 And now Brazil is in a huddle. I can just imagine the conversation: "We can do everything the British did....and we will do it NAKED!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The enormous disembodied head of John Lennon left me quite speechless. Did you like how they put it together from lots of people carrying jigsaw pieces, and then decomposed it? I thought it was mostly dismal. Highlights: Norman Cook, Liam Gallagher. Were they trying to imply David Bowie was dead, putting up shots of him in absentia between Lennon and Mercury?. Overheard: "What about U2?" Yeah, what about the Mambo Kings? I think the acts were supposed to be British, but then we did get a Bee Gees number. :shrug: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Oops, no, highlight was actually "Fuck me, it's Pele." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
g.johnson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The highlight, broadcast to the whole world except, I imagine, the US, was Eric Idle singing "Life's a piece of shit, When you look at it." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We were informed that life is a piece of BLEEEEP, but I was more disappointed that the "Always look on the bright side of death" verse was expurgated (unless my attention failed). But worse than everything else, I discovered overnight that NBC cut Ray Davies singing "Waterloo Sunset." Clowns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 That is beyond intolerable. I'm happy I didn't watch that now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foodie52 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm confused. Remember Apollo Ono? Isn't he an inline skater? Isn't that an Olympic event? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
