Now i shall copy paste the post i made in the olympics 2010 thread.
opening ceremonies. horrible.
first they had some guys who were bad at singing, then a poet, a french singer, and finally, they screw up the torch lighting, leaving two of the final runners with no way to light the torch.
SUCKS TO BE THEM AMIRITE?
to anyone who didn't watch, they were supposed to, all five of them, light the torch at once via flammable pillars (gasoline soaked my guess), which would rise up from the ground.
two of the pillars didn't lift up, causing two of the people to be left out while steve nash, wayne gretzky, and one other person lit the torch by themselves.
i dunno about you, but i would hate to have been one of the final runners, then be left standing there while three other people light the cauldron (internal one, there are two this time around).
and now wayne gretzky is on his way to light the external torch. man how i would laugh if something were to happen.
