The Italians must have gotten bored while waiting for their turn, because I think most of them were drunk.

LOL, I said the exact same thing to my friends.
I think NBC could shave an hour off by skipping some of the small countries instead of trying to come up with comments for them.

The Italians having to wait their turn in the parade had nothing to do with NBC. It takes time for 10,000+ athletes to walk the parade route.
I think it was great that every country was given attention. It's what the Olympics is about.

Those were separate comments.
Since NBC was doing a tape delay, they could really compact more entrances (already did for some countries) instead of making smartass comments to fill air time.

Great opening ceremony, here are some nice pictures of it: http://www.boston.com/bigpictu..._opening_ceremony.html
I was surprised as hell when I saw the people pop out of the moving boxes, that must have taken a ton of practice.

Pretty cool parade at the end. Costas came off as unbelievably smug (What was that line about how the first two female olympians for some country were the daughters of the prime minister? "I'm sure THAT'S a coincidence" Ugh.) but I don't understand the whining about their being honest about the medal chances of some of these countries. Iraq's probably not likely to win the gold in something, sorry to break it to you folks. Go watch the Special Olympics if the idea of competition bothers you.

3 events over, China with 2 golds ... they should have 3 if a Chinese favorite didn't choke.
