Olympic Opening Ceremony, thoughts?

Ofcourse it wasn't perfect, there were things which many people across the globe wouldn't get, but I don't remember getting much about the Beijing opening ceremony either.

Look on the bright side,

At least the London Olympics didn't feature computer generated fireworks during the supposedly "live" broadcast like during the Beijing olympics.

Or had Sarah Brightman sing in her ultra-high pitched voice
a theme song so soppy it makes one shrivel into one's chair,

or found a cute 8 year old to lip sync to a because the 8 year old who really did the singing wasn't cute enough.
