These closing ceremonies just got 10000x more awesome. Stereotypes forever!
Giant beavers! Giant moose! This is retardedly awesome.
Maple Leaf forever motherfuckers, don’t you forget it.
Aaaaand they ruin everything with Nickleback and Avril. Fuck.
Double.
Wow. So what did this closing ceremony teach us? That Canada is all about Hockey, Beavers, and Moose. lol, man thats all you want to show the world?!
Russia’s 5 minute performance was already much more cultural and interesting. Russia is pissed so you know they are going to pull a China come 2014 with their opening ceremony. Cant wait
Double.
You got that right.
Yeah, these ceremonies are pretty brutal. I can’t watch this crap. Embarrassing.
As a Canadian the closing ceremony (save for the last two musical acts) was AWESOME, a full-on tongue-in-cheek send up of everything Canadian. Sure, the Russian ceremony was “artistic”, but it was something more suited to the opening ceremonies. The closing ones are all about fun, and the ending insanity was fun as hell.
Simple plan!?!???! Why jesus why
There not even showing it in America anymore. I guess they figured we would rather watch “The Marriage Ref” lol!
I’m gonna have to disagree.
The humor wouldn’t have been understood by anyone other than Canadians and some Americans. Countries around the world are watching, and most of it gets lost in translation. This is followed by a bunch of mediocre Canadian musicians performing their hit singles. You can watch the same garbage on MTV, except this time some of them are wearing hockey jerseys, and they say “merci beaucoup” after they’re done. If they’re not gonna do something special for the Olympics, then they’re not truly serious about representing the country.
I’m not expecting a Beijing performance. Almost everyone involved in the ceremonies is doing this part time, where in China the government can say: “This is now your job. Here is your salary.” I’m just thinking there could be more Canadian personality, and fewer “fillers”.
I’d rather watch the Marriage Ref.
Nickelback are from van and thats actually a really good song to play out of their catalogue imo. cause whats everybody doing? celebrating and drinking beer.
michael buble/alanis is also a good choice
im happy its a free concert might save tax dollars
nickelback are from hanna, alberta im pretty sure
not that i like them, just saying
they get a lot of airtime here, and i fucking hate it
Oh, oh, it is SO fashionable to hate on Nickelback right now. Fact is that Nickelback are still more musically talented than about 80% of the acts on the radio right now.
Closing ceremonies were good if you were Canadian minus nickelback arvil and that shit…
shit youre right. i thought they were from van only based in.
uhh hip hop
think i spotted james jones aka JJ_Tactics
yeah they are a good band the state was a good album, bought that shit in grade 8 when i was in highschool. heh.
my dad keeps complaining there was no anne murray. lol
I like the Olympics because it’s the only time I’ll watch events I wouldn’t otherwise watch during the 3 years and 11 months in between.
Roller derby on ice was hype. So was Biathlon. You miss a shot, you have to work it off by skiing an extra lap. One of the most ingenious ideas ever in sports.
man i don’t know what i’m gonna do without curling after dark. I’ve grown so used to ending my nights with it.
Sooo true.
