Olympic opening ceremony - What's your view

[poppyjack]

What's peoples views on this...

Danny Boyle has announced that the Olympic Stadium will be transformed into "the British countryside" for the Olympic Opening Ceremony on the 27 July, featuring farmyard animals and fake rain.
The filmmaker's quirky sense of humour is evident in his plans for the ceremony, which feature 70 sheep, 12 horses, 10 chickens, three sheep dogs, real grass and a plough.
There is also a game of cricket, a mosh pit and fake clouds which will rain on performers.
More than 10,000 volunteers have been enlisted to help create Boyle's vision, and the Opening Ceremony is likely to be watched by one billion people.

The good thing is if weather stays as it is they wont need fake rain,as usual well over hyped and over priced..............

Waste of money. For a country that's in recession we are fairly spending it. First the queens jubilee and now this.

Shocking considering the money spent could save thousands of lives.

Good point, but was more thinking it could have helped pay for the up keep of DK.

Theres the MASSIVE fridge full of stella that draws 2KW/ 24 hours - GMB45 installed it when he became moderator.

Theres the DK cat, needs feeding and milking.

The electric bill for the lights - the Chat Box is PERMANTLY light up like a NCP car park.

The list is endless
