You're free to disagree, but I have a hard time interpreting it any other way tbh.

You completely missed the point. It would appear you all did. However, that's intended, I guess.
It was about "embracing" political correctness, "tolerance" and "multi-culturalism" (in reality it's about embracing multi-ethnicism and not opposing Islam, in this case pro miscegenation propaganda... basically exterminating European Whites (blondes especially, the mother being blonde was no coincidence, it was symbolic) or at the very least making us small minorities in our own European homelands and no reservations for us). The reason you didn't realize may well have been because you're American and simply not aware. Or because the propaganda has gotten to you (it's common in Hollywood as well). The act did not reflect history as any non-White immigration to Europe worth mentioning is a much more recent phenomenon than in the US (we are the natives and we did not have African slaves or even Asian immigrant laborers, it really started post-WW2 so the industrialization did not look like that at all, demographically).
In my country (Sweden) we have a population of about 9 million (of which more than 26% are either immigrants or the children of immigrants and at least of the immigrants ~40-45% come from non-White countries). Our current Minister for Enterprise said not too long ago that she thought it would be a great idea to bring in another 30 million [sic] immigrants to Sweden (again, in a country of less than 7 million ethnic Swedes). She went further and called the immigrants "settlers"/"colonists". (Two thirds of the net immigration was from non-White countries 2011. This ratio would not shrink but increase if the plans were set in motion full speed.)
We're basically being replaced. It's hard to describe it in terms other than genocide.
At the same time it was great to hear the cheer he received. He can stand there riddled with advanced Parkinson's Disease, and still only be recognized for how great he was/is. That's about the best way anyone can ask to be remembered.
Where did you see any of that in the production? Seriously did I sleep through that part? I mean I didn't like it but jesus hume christ.
Was talking to mrmuppet.
Because of the performance and the political situation (and the politically correct media) in Europe (Sweden is probably worst off, but UK is high on the list too, not sure exactly how high).I am having a hard time understanding HOW you did interpret the opening like that... It seems like a conspiracy theory more than anything real.
Where? That was the production basically. Compare it with the Chinese production in Beijing, 2008.Where did you see any of that in the production? Seriously did I sleep through that part? I mean I didn't like it but jesus hume christ.

I understand how it may seem like a conspiracy theory if you're not even living in Europe. ("Location: silver spring, maryland")
I can supply sources for my statements if you want. As for the act, I suggest you rewatch it with this in mind.

LOL, most reasonable people understand what MrMuppet is saying. From the myopic views of mnewsham and przerodonegy it is not clear.
China, 2008
No cultural diversity in opening ceremony.
England, 2012
Obvious cultural diversity in opening ceremony.
I'm guessing that pointing this out is offensive to mnewsham and pzerodonegy?

The hell do these have to do with the quality of ceremony?
<snip> You Americans should be proud of, use and stand up for the liberties you still have. Even old Europe needs that you preserve them.
Berners-Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favour of Net Neutrality,and has expressed the view that ISPs should supply "connectivity with no strings attached," and should neither control nor monitor customers' browsing activities without their expressed consent. He advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right: "Threats to the Internet, such as companies or governments that interfere with or snoop on Internet traffic, compromise basic human network rights."
Opening Ceremony mysteries solved
By Claudine Zap
The Opening Ceremonies of London's 2012 Olympic Games have come and gone, leaving many mysteries in their wake. Here, we answer some of the top head-scratchers from Danny Boyle's incredibly British event.
Why do the announcers speak French first?
That's because French and English are the two official Olympic languages. Remember, the modern Games were founded by Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin.
If not for him, there would be no Olympics. But even if it is a requirement by the IOC that the first language should be French, it does seem to add one more confusing element to the mix.
Did the queen really parachute into the Games?
Well, no. But Her Majesty did show her common touch, participating in her first acting role with no less than Daniel Craig's James Bond as her co-star.
The two met up at her palace residence with her dogs in tow and took off in a helicopter together, headed to the stadium, and then, yes, parachuted down to the event.
And what an entrance, even if it was a stunt double dressed as the queen.
Who was that singer?
In one of the few quieter moments, performers paid a tribute to war dead and the victims of the 7/7 terrorist attacks. To add to the mood, the soulful singer Emeli Sande sung the somber hymn "Abide With Me."
The singer grabbed attention when she won the 2012 Brit Award in the Critic's Choice category, and whose album "Our Version of Events" reached the No. 1 position on the U.K. charts. She's also a songwriter, and has penned tunes for artists including Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis, Tinie Tempah, Cheryl Cole, Cher Lloyd, and Alesha Dixon, among others, and was dubbed his "favorite songwriter at the minute" by Simon Cowell.
Who were the torch lighters?
The torch was passed, literally, from one generation down to the next. After being handed off from legendary Olympian Steve Redgrave, the seven young athletes received flames from seven Olympic legends and simultaneously lit 200 miniature torches. The flames rose together in the center of Olympic Stadium to form the cauldron made up of the copper kettles carried by each team. As to the choice of the young group, Yahoo! Sports writes, "(Director Danny)Boyle went the egalitarian route, choosing seven teenagers of varying backgrounds to accept the flame from seven legends."
What's with the giant baby head?
The child's head is a tribute to the Great Ormond Street Hospital staff. Viewers were treated to hundreds of hospital beds, complete with dancing nurses and their child patients.
The celebration of the National Health Service, a treasured national institution that started in 1948 amid the ruins of war-devastated Britain included the world-famous Great Ormond Street Hospital with the appearance of that giant baby head. Certainly, there was no missing that big baby.
