Tokyo 2020 - Day 0 - The Opening Ceremony (Fri 23 July)

[Madíson]

An ironically unimaginative choice.

 

[Diddy]

Someone get Keith Urban a chapstick

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Also our European Representative not being Senhit

 

[Christian]

HATING this

 

[GinAg (39)]

Keith Urban. If ever a product didn't do what it said on the tin.

 

[win_the_game]

They’ve sung Imagine so many times before at the Olympics. Surely there are other less trite songs.

 

[Tisch]

For someone's who biggest song is about "imperfections" it's weird that John Legend has decided to get that extreme botox in this face.

 

[Christian]

I wish they'd cancelled the whole thing to spare us this

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Also our European Representative not being Senhit

Also for Oceania, WHERE IS GAMBLE PLEASE!?

 

[BoysForSeles]

They’ve sung Imagine so many times before at the Olympics. Surely there are other less trite songs.

Well Yoko co-wrote it so why not in Tokyo if anywhere?

 

[Christian]

I bet Nicole told Keith not to do this

 

[Diddy]

At this point just light the fucking torch so we can move on.

let the drones do it with laser beams for Christ’s sake

 

[win_the_game]

Bring back Jacques Rogge

 

[Christian]

Well Yoko co-wrote it so why not in Tokyo if anywhere?

Did she though?

 

[BoysForSeles]

Did she though?

She is credited on it since 2017

 

[GNL]

Did she though?

According to Lennon, yes!

 

[Diddy]

President Hashimoto of the Japanese Olympic committee (after they sacked several mysogenists)

the Japanese might be a bit against the Olympics but they REALLY hate Bach

 

[GinAg (39)]

Hopefully the drones will go full Hunger Games.

 

[Diddy]

Well Lennon is dead anyway so she’d get his royalties?

 

[Diddy]

The logo on that podium is a bit lazy, couldn’t they have cut out the gaps?

 

[Christian]

Who is she @Diddy ?

 

[Diddy]

I need a wee… I guess nothing interesting will happen

 

[Diddy]

Who is she @Diddy ?

President of the Japanese Olympic Committee after they fired the other ones for being misogynist pieces of shit

 

[Diddy]

All the Japanese standing nicely while other countries are jumping into shot

 

[Christian]

President of the Japanese Olympic Committee after they fired the other ones for being misogynist pieces of shit

Oh!

 

[Christian]

Well Lennon is dead anyway so she’d get his royalties?

I think Cynthia and the kids are still in the game

 

[Diddy]

MESSI BOOCOO

 

[Christian]

Have you had a wee yet Dids? I'm feeling anxious if you've not.

 

[Diddy]

Oh it’s only Bach, loo time

don’t worry @Christian

 

[Diddy]

London 2012 opening ceremony rewatch, anyone?

 

[Diddy]

oops I’ve posted a lot in this thread

 

[Diddy]

Yes well done for containing the pandemic Japan *4th wave happening now*

 

[Diddy]

When are the lasers?? Jesus wept

 

[Christian]

Bring back the DRONES

 

[win_the_game]

This must be the most boring opening ceremony in recent history.

 

[Diddy]

Bring back the DRONES

this speech is a drone!

a bit of a change from his “we will have the Olympics whether the government want it or not”

 

[win_the_game]

London 2012 opening ceremony rewatch, anyone?

I was going to suggest Athens 2004!

 

[Diddy]

I was going to suggest Athens 2004!

how about Jerusalem 1999
Or Stockholm 2016

oh wait

 

[Christian]

They're always quite DULL given that you have to have 3 hours of athletes TROOPING IN as the main part of the GIG

 

[GNL]

Wrap it up, mate.
