Opening ceremony

[Turbinator]

The wire better have been made of titanium.

Have had the ceremony on in the background for a few hours but enough's enough and I'm off for the evening - and I didn't even see the star of the show Bryan Adams!

[Turbinator]

Wth I thought she left? She's back?

 

[masterblaster]

Dude, subcontinental politicians passing up a chance for some self-promotion?

That's so true. It's so typical of them. I'm just amazed that none of them have any public speaking skills whatsoever.

 

[_Ed_]

Oh, and now there's another one. Good lord.

 

[masterblaster]

They make them full bodied in Bangladesh!

 

[silentstriker]

This lady should've come down from the top hanging by a wire, like Usher. Would've made things more interesting.

And another.

Well now you know your answer Turbinator. That technology has yet to be invented.

 

[masterblaster]

Not to mention look at that hairdo!

 

[_Ed_]

Are these rotund singers really the best way they can think of to show Bangladeshi culture to the world?

 

[Turbinator]

Wtf, how is this an opening ceremony? Sending out a few ladies in the middle of a large stadium to sing?

Best way to show Bangladesh is fast approaching first-world status.


Well, maybe they should have given all of them lipos and breast implants and then have them sing. Dunno.

I think you put the word 'large' in the wrong position in that sentence.

 

[masterblaster]

I'd never thought I'd say this but bring on Bryan Adams! Please!

 

[_Ed_]

Is it perhaps an admission by Bangladesh that they won't win the World Cup? It's not over until...

 

[silentstriker]

They should have gone the Chinese opening ceremony route and had the ugly fat kid sing in the back while the pretty girl lip syncs.

[Cruxdude]

Don't know how being fat get in the way of their singing. Think we need to know the language to appreciate the songs. Maybe it is like this for the average Bangladeshi when Bryan Adams is on stage.

The current cultural tribute to Bangladesh hasn't been too bad either. Certainly better than those three Bangladeshi singers that came out back to back. I think you have to connect with people and share your culture, not just parade around local celebrities all the time. The rest of the people watching around the world don't really know and don't likely care but anytime this ceremony has taken a cultural approach, it has been half decent.
