London 2012 Opening Ceremony

That's like saying, 'We can't compete with Barca, so if we meet them in the final let's just wear bat costumes and set fire to ourselves, then in the confusion claim a draw.' To be fair that might have worked better than Fergie's strategy the last two times...

Spoiler that Plech I've not seen the dark night rises yet.
 
I swear there's some made-up countries among this lot...
 
Damn, Wales even failed to qualify for the Opening Ceremony.
 
There are too many countries in the world aren't there, really?
 
And what was all that Sims nonsense about then? Surely it'd have been better to showcase our binge drinking culture?
 
Also, why does the French announcer have to go "Braaazzziilllleeee", right before the English one says the same thing but just less camply.
 
Didn't see Rafael. He must have been one of the kids in the NHS beds.
