Olympic opening ceremony
What did y'all think about it? I thought it was a bit strange but hey maybe that's just their culture. Also Brazil I'm sorry but we made the first airplane get over it.

1 RespuestaEditado por orkdestroyer1: 8/6/2016 4:45:10 PMNow hold on a second OP The Brazilians claimed in 1906? (I think it was) Then the BBC said "To all you American Viewers who noticed that 1903 is before 1906, but this is one of brazil's feats" (Inventing a plane only 3 years after the Wright Bros, without probably seeing it, is a pretty good feat) Sorry Pal

1 RespuestaDidn't watch it. Honestly, I've never been more interested in a summer Olympics. But that's just because I want to see how bad it can get. And so far, it's been preeeeetty bad. Multiple thefts from athletes. Athletes being thrown up on in hotels. The Australian building having a fire and the alarms not working. Pretty sure there was another fire at the hotel they relocated them to. And it just started.

The parkour/ freerunning thing was cool.

1 RespuestaChinese basketball team getting caught between a firefight. Oh Rio... It's only a matter of time.

3 RespuestasThis should be brought into deep consideration. What the Brazilian government is doing is completely disgusting and corrupt, but I'm not surprised; this is the real world, after all, a world the media is always trying to hide from us.

2 RespuestasIt was pretty meh. Everything they did, London did better.

I thought it was pretty cool. The announcers said it was pretty low budget so, for what it was, I liked what they put on in the story of Brazil's history. I also liked that they gave a great diversity message, and I thought the environment message was cool too.

1 RespuestaTo be fair, the "first in flight" bit has always been a bit...contended. France, about three different American persons, Brazil, and a few others have all claimed it.
