Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony (Australia 7)

[TheRubberduckey100]

those drums are ancient? theres fucking LED's in them.....

[PaitPait1]

@TheRubberduckey100 the drum itself is ancient...but they put touch light thingys on top of it

[AurasBookBox]

politics aside, this was pretty epic. I live 20mins away from Londons Olympic village, I'm disgusted that the people of London were not given a fair enough chance to get the tickets they wanted and alot of them went to overseas visitors. I'm not even going to wish London good luck, we clearly won't compare.

[WIZZINGSHIRE]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh london.can you even come close? what will your opening show the world? how you invade and conquered the world with your BRITISH EMPIRE? i can not wait until july 27th to see.i bet you will give us a boring HUGE dose of beattles songs.

[TheRubberduckey100]

[WIZZINGSHIRE]

[MrGUILLERMOPLAZA]

[JadesVidz]

Boris Johnson must watch this and weep.

[zlyable]

i feel bad for London O.o

[simplyleigh2011]

Australia's opening was so much better than the US's!

[EuphrasieF]

@simplyleigh2011

Heh. Where I live (Michigan) I get to watch the Canadian Broadcasting Channel's coverage, and I've been doing so ever since the Atlanta games.

[WIZZINGSHIRE]

@EuphrasieF wish i could get the canadian version because NBC's bob costas sucks!!!!! he loves to hear his voice.

[FaelTremere]

Londo and bagpipes!

[Kuupoju]

It appears Cartman saw this video.

[cgsilverscreen2020]

I'm sure that if London just tries to be itself everything will be fine. However, if they try to outdo Beijing things will not go well at all.

[ebonyzerscrouge]

Good luck, London. o_____o

[afreijat]

[DJshadyh00d13]

this is so badass man i give this a ten

[IMFLondon]

Zhang YI Mou , the director of this Olympic opening, is known for liking to do things in massive scale.

[welikepeople123]

@IMFLondon lol and what was ur first clue?

[IMFLondon]

@welikepeople123 You... he collaborated with your mum multiple times. 

[IMFLondon]

@welikepeople123 Have you watched any of his movies? I doubt it, Go watch them they eomploy more actors than the Olympics.

[TheBlanco951]

gives me chills everytime i watch this. such precision and amazing art work performance.

[VictorYong36]

dreadful coverage by 7 on the best Olympic Games ever! Thank god for Foxtel next year!

[willwfg1]

ESPETACULAR!!!

[Jimmyretired]

england invented the olympics and we have history and the biggest empire, china are nothing but third world asian people pal

[aquakawai]

@Jimmyretired You just seem to be everywhere showing off your ignorance, how sad...do you know how many people were laughing at you when they saw your brainless post? wake up, this is not 18th century! you know nothing about history. the biggest empire ever is china's Yuan Dynasty and at that time, england hadn't been quite civilized, go wikipedia and get some education!

[Jimmyretired]

@aquakawai CHINA and asian people like to eat dogs, your culture is barbaric mate

[Peacelover1212]

@Jimmyretired we're talking about the Olympics, it doesn't have any relation to eating dogs whatsoever. And not all asian people like to eat dogs. Why don't you just admit that china did a really great job in hosting the olympics. Olympics is about sportivity and spirit. Your nation will host the next Olympics in 2012. Stop throwing some random negative things about other nation, and support your country in preparing the big event.

[MrJonslife]

@Peacelover1212 Some Brits are feeling worried right now, because they arent confident of hosting a better olympics than china. I have lots of reasons to hate china too, but one cant deny the amazing spectacle they put up for the world to see in 2008. And this shows how much they want us to know that they want to be recognised.

[kirealvarez]

@Jimmyretired and your culture is just plain racist!

[L08Jim]

@Jimmyretired

you are dumb for saying that. you really think that only Asian people eat dog, around the whole entire world people from all over the place have at least once or couple times in their lifetime have eating dog meat. So don't sit there claim that only Asian people eat dog food all right MR. SMARTY-PANTS!!!!!

[Sierratorna]

@Jimmyretired I think Greece has you beaten by a couple hundred years at least

[MrJonslife]

@Jimmyretired so? whats the point of telling us if china is third world or not? That you are white and superior?

[MrJonslife]

@Jimmyretired england invented olympics. yes england invented olympics if obama is going to appear on tv tomorrow in a can can dress.

[kingofthedammed]

i dont know we do a pretty good fireworks display on new years eve every year!

[Lori0185]

LONDON 2012 UR FUCKED UP!

[linegenrou]

fuck me this is awsome

[19EHF]

OMG I WUD LIKE TO SEE LONDON COMPETE WITH THAT!!!!

[AtoZfrom72]

E . P . I . C . Sheer Power of the Human Spirit. It is like the gallop of ten thousand horses charging towards you. You cannot stop it but simply allow your mind, body and soul to be fully consumed by the maruading force.

[VictorYong36]

Seven's coverage of these Olympics were the worst telecasted ever Down Under.

[jimeniuxxobo]

i still dunno HOW THE HELL LONDON IS GOING TO BEAT THAT!

[morticia2704]

impresionante!!!

[hightoweratlanta]

do you have any more of the opening ceremony

[supra16]

if you want more...type kabriav in the search and find the username kabriav he has alll the videos for it

[PeacockStone]

The comparison between Beijing and Sydney Olympics opening ceremony is like the distance between Heaven and Earth. The drum beating in Sydney olympic is like a bunch of farmers making noise trying to gain attention for their farms for sale. The Beijing drum beatings countdown put any opening ceremony into shame. Any countdown on the big screen in future will be considered as uncreative!!

[supra16]

wuts wrong wit drums..athens had drums...china just had better ones

[magics619]

Yeah, baby! Show the world what we got!

[PeacockStone]

Such a magnificient performance at the very beginning of the opening ceremony had already earned 50 points out of 100%!!!

[PeacockJade]

oh my goodness, such a fantastic moment should be remembered forever in human history! If i were in the statium that night, I would have died unsustainable to the explosion of such irresistable ultrapowerful atmosphere!!!

[bzach71]

@PeacockJade ....lol..your description is equally spectacular...!!!
