(EDIT) This is a long one so just scroll down to the end for the punch line if you saw the closing ceremonies of Beijing games

So I finally get around to watching the closing ceremonies of Beijings 2008 Olympic games..
After watching amazing choreographed numbers, stunning visuals and amazing fireworks. We are treated to London's invite to their invite to the 2012 London games....
On the big screen we see the worst ever Olympic logo ever designed and then it proceeds to show us a virtual double decker red bus going thru a TRON like version of London....
In the Beijing stadium, appears a real doubledecker rd bus diving around spastic caricatures of Londoners doing their best imitations of a bad Monty Python dance number.(Anybody remember the Fat Boy Slim "Praise You" music video with the bad dance troup in front of a movie theater....kinda reminded me of that but they were being serious....)
When the bus finally stops, the dancers all rush to the door like it's the last lifeboat on the Titanic only to be pushed away when the door opened. In the door there is a pretty young girl.
She walks out and then meets up with her Chinese alter ego from which she receives the gift of a football.
She then proceeds literally to walk on the backs of people on there knees back to the bus. Then embarks back on.
Then from the top of the bus emerges Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page ( LED ZEP!!!) to welcome the people of the world to London with a song. They sing....
"Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zep. Yep. "Whole Lotta love". One of the most carnal, sexually charged song about f***ing in rock and roll history. Err. And this they find an appropriate song of love to the world.
"You need coolin, baby, Im not foolin,
Im gonna send you back to schoolin,
Way down inside honey, you need it,
Im gonna give you my love,
Im gonna give you my love."
What? Seriously! Frankie*s "RELAX", The Beatles "Do it in the road" or Donna Summers "Love to love you baby" were to tame and demure?
And just to make sure that this lame excuse of a presentation ends with confused whimper and not a roar, Beckham appears from the top of the bus. What does he do? He kicks a football (soccer ball) into the crowd. The end. No boom. No bang. Just a ball kicked in a crowd....

SO!
This is the message the London Olympic 2012 Committee sent the world.
Come to London in 2012! We'll walk all over you, we'll f**k you and we'll kick you in the balls.
WHo the hell did this stupid concept.....
Bloody wankers has my school buddy Paul would say.....
