London 2012 Olympics

Could always be worse. You could be on the inside on one of those mascot outfits.

That's just nuts!

Isn't that the same as any televised or recorded event, though?

Making a big thing out of nothing.

but this is an overthetop thread about the olympics screwing us over
we are supposed to make a big thing out of nothing

OUTRAGED OF OSWESTRY

OUTRAGED OF OSWESTRY

This sums up my feelings about the olympics:

This sums up my feelings about the olympics:

That's a lot of feelings

Racist fucker, that Milligan.

it will be fun

Is that ED209?

We have the slightly less advanced version: Ed 5c0b1e.

Is that ED209?

This thing terrified me!

Pretty much sums it up for me...

These pathetic sacks of shit depress this fuck out of me. They are designed to look a bit like consumer electronic goods, you know, so that kids can identify with them. Can't we just have something nice? Whoever approved them ought to be looking for a new job.

but as an adult which scares you more, the clunky CGI of ED209 or the internetz wizdom of Ed 5c0b1e?

This thing terrified me!

until the part it starts crying like a girl after falling down the stairs

These pathetic sacks of shit depress this fuck out of me. They are designed to look a bit like consumer electronic goods, you know, so that kids can identify with them. Can't we just have something nice? Whoever approved them ought to be looking for a new job.

The same goes for the shit heads who designed the logo. What a bunch of cunts! I can imagine their offices and hour before the pitch "that'll have to do" and then collecting a couple of million for that shit?! A chimp could've done a better job. Fucking disgusting.

Don't get me started on that pair of Locog endorsed cunts...they look like nothing more than a pair of fucked refrigerators that pikeys leave behind on roundabouts in Hertfordshire.

the olympics continues to simultaneously piss me off and make me laugh at how much we've managed to fuck it up.

Someone suggested to me that the deployment of this or that bit of military kit is not so much because we think there is a practical application for them, but more a matter of marketing British made gadgets at the taxpayer's expense.

Britain has a long and proud history of selling arms to just about anyone, and politicians from both parties have been more than helpful when securing arms contracts with dodgy countries. (SaudiArabia+Blair or JohnMajor+Iraq)
The only new thing here really is that following the Arab spring, the orange revolution in Ukraine, the riots in Greece, the Green revolution/riots in Iran etc etc etc, a typical foreign despot will mostly be interested in the kind of military gadgets that will be useful in cities and, more precisely, useful in large crowds.
20 years ago BAE sold Tanzania an air defence systems they had no realistic need for. But the wizened up arms dealer of today understands that military vs civilan gadgets such as that sonic gun, or missile systems that can be fitted on top of residential housing is the stuff that a dictator actually needs.
"We used these during the olympics you know" will be a major selling point for years to come.

Welcome to the UK
