semi-official slogan for the games: "Remember Beijing? Those were great, right!?"

The runner up for that slogan was "Showing the world why we haven't been relevant since 1945. LONDON 2012!"

I believed he wrote 1945 because that`s when the 2nd WW ended and since then England hasn`t had much to do with the rest of the World.

Also I truly hope the olympic games go down well, as I enjoy watching a good sport.

I was not aware of this Second World War, as you call it. What was it fought over? The taxing of trade routes?

Correct. The Senate taxed trade routes and the Trade Federation got super mad, so they took what was obviously the next logical step and invaded Naboo.

Wait. Wasn't the Red Skull involved in this somehow?

His alter ego Nute Von Gunray was doing unspeakable experiments on the captive Gungan population.

So many members of the tinfoil hat brigade think there will be a terrorist attack during the plympics. :P

They're only the tin foil hat brigade if they think that it's part of the NWO world takeover, involving the Illuminati, a plot by the lizard people, or all of the above.

Otherwise a terrorist attack can happen anywhere, especially the Olympics.

Yeah, I'm sure that security is tight, but GB hasn't exactly been invulnerable to terrorist attacks of late. Also tensions in the Middle East are as high as they've been in awhile.

Well, we don’t need to overstate the risk of terrorism. The amount of terrorist attacks do not add up to the rhetoric surrounding the threat of terrorism. It’s very much overstated, even though it’s still a risk you should prepare for at events like these.

Yes, that is why, they think its the reptilian jew illuminati aliens doing it.

There's an astoundingly large amount of these people on the internet.

Nice ceremony, London. Must have been expensive.

How did you afford it? Did you have to raise tuition again?

You could see Danny Boyle's signature all over that thing.

I like how they brought in James Bond, because their only national icons are fictional characters.
