Well, I certainly enjoyed the cheerful presence of the Jacques Rogge, the President of the IOC, throughout the week:
What's up his ass? I know you're from Belgium, Jacques, but come on, turn that frown upside down. He didn't even smile while handing out medals. What a revolting man.

WELL, I'd sort of agree, but--
PLANET JEDWARD is actually from (can it be possible??!!) the Republic of Ireland (and therefore not exactly eligible)??!
Oh my!

The hauntingly beautiful music from the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron at the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony. Featuring vocals from Alex Trimble (of Two Door Cinema Club), Only Men Aloud, Dockhead Choir, Elizabeth Roberts, Esme Smith and percussion by Dame Evelyn Glennie

HOWEVER, you MIGHT then be confused, wondering WHY was Alex Trimble of Two Door Cinema Club featured in the Opening Ceremony if JEDWARD of PLANET JEDWARD, being Irish, was not?
