    Jesus christ enough of the glowsticks. Was that their only idea? Throw on some shiny fabric, hipster shades and put a light on it?

    I actually enjoyed the end, my snarky sense left me and it was great to see Annie Lennox, and Eric Idle and even fucking Russell Brand looking totally in the moment and everyone really enjoying themselves, it was a great show. It's big and clever to hate on everything and I'm as big and clever as anyone, but sometimes it's worthwhile to just be able to put that aside and sit with your kid and explain who these people are and what their cultural significance is. Spice Girls, really ? Ah but they looked good for people who were at their zenith 15 years ago, it was an almost impossibly lavish and complex thing to pull off and they managed it. No one was a massive prick and tried to blow up anyone else, all the athletes' camaraderie with other teams was excellent and a perfect example of what an anachronism nation states are; in sport, technology, culture, music, science, etc, the nation state is a pointless layer of awkwardness and abstraction to be negotiated around. Only in politics do people act as if the national barriers that cut through humanity have any reality. Any other discipline or field of endevour ignores them, save for the added impetus it gives to competitive games - even then it's just a flag - they are competing for the whole country against another country, they're competing to be the best, for their team, for everyone that's supported them. Countries are a stupid idea, get rid of them - let's just do sport and music and science and everything else we do, but with less paperwork. That's what I took away from the Olympics.

    • *not ACTUALLY as clever as anyone, obviously. Clever for me, though. Sometimes.– mikotondria31/4
      Excellent post– Peter2/4
      Imagine...– Chimp3/4
      Well said. I enjoyed it with my son also. They got rid of the typical theatrical bullshit and decided to jam the entire night. Well Done.– OSFA4/4

    I can't believe this Olympics is already over. That was quick. It feels like it JUST started. And it feels like I barely got to see anything. Thanks NBC?

    • I got to see a lot due to NBC streaming every event online.– CygnusZero41/3
      Along with the all day/night coverage across 4 channels. >_>– CygnusZero42/3
      I tried to set up online, but it would not allow me to, even though I have Dish network and all the NBC channels on my TV.– CanHasQBN3/3

    Why the hell did they have Kate Moss and a bunch of vacuous stick figure, coke sniffing coat hangers strutting around at the closing ceremony?

    • space filler.– zenmasterfoo1/3
      They said it was to reflect the UKs fashion sense. Whatever, that was the reason.– CygnusZero42/3
      It would take a million Kate Mosses to fill enough space. Skinny little minger– Amicus3/3

    Now it's time for the media to shift it's attention from the Olympic hype back to the state of the economy and if the Olympics actually had a positive impact, short term, etc

    • back to reality, uh oh here comes gravity– hans_glib

    This is what the UK had on display. A has been who's turned into a mess, a talentless girl band, and the lead singer of an incredibly generic pop rock band. Great.

    • That just happened to become world famous– qTime1/4
      2 of those girl band members prefer not to even live in UK.– pang2/4
      Oh well, haters gonna hate– qTime3/4
      They also had Lennon, Queen, McCartney, The Who, Annie Lennox, Fatboy Slim...– OSFA4/4

    The Blur gig in Hyde Park was good though, didn't see any of the official one.

    Now Britain is on a big comedown.

    Like mikotondria3 said, it is so easy to hate on everything but I decided to enjoy it. It is a huge event and I can just imagine all the hoops and issues involved in planning it... Shit, it is hard to fucking get a client to agree/work on a website!

    Overall, I liked the closing ceremony. About time they get rid of the boring theatrical sets. It was entertaining and fun. Yes, some of you might hate the artists who performed and would prefer to see indie bands or could've done something way better, but in comparisson with other closing ceremonies or stupid Super Bowl halftime shows... the Brits delivered.

    • Yep, show me a better closing ceremony than that.– qTime
