Re: Olympic Opening Ceremony Show
NBC, didn't show the abide with me / dance segment, which was a tribute to the 7/7 bombings in London. They choose to show an interview between Michael Phelps and Ryan Seacrest. That about sums up 'merkan media, but not as much as the two commentators not knowing who Tim Berners-Lee was. "Well I don't know who that is, perhaps we should google him". Oh the irony.

Re: Olympic Opening Ceremony Show
Very stylish show. Especially loved the Underworld music accompanying the early part before the rings formed. Actually, the music generally was great. Thought maybe there could have been more sport in the show. After all, weren't many of the sports invented by the Brits (not just NHS etc)?
