    Was there a malfunction? One of them didn't get to lit the flame.

    Yeah, the fourth pillar didn't come up cause the door in the floor was stuck.

    Keep trying African American, white, Arab, Iranian(not intention to insult others on here) boy. Did you like that? Just giving you the taste what its like to be on the other end with your insults.

    Quite honestly, I'm struggling to understand it, as is the case with the majority of your posts.

    Anyhow, I was just killing some time. Thanks for helping me to that end.

    Enjoy your evening, fellow Rockets fan and Canadian dude with possible Asian ancestry.

    Are these really the first two Olympic ceremonies you've ever seen?

    The only thing better about the Winter Olympics are fewer countries so it's a shorter march.

    Oh really? Tmac and Yao are the reason why there are so many Clutchfans and race isn't always the reason why. I like Aaron Brooks so that might make me black. I also like Yao so that also might make me asian. I might like George Clooney(which I don't) so that make me Jewish?

    Why does it matter? Do you read people's post wondering what race they are so you can make some assumptions about them or fit their ideas and feelings into your stereotypes?

    Just chill on that

    The opening ceremony was really lame until that pillar wouldn't raise up. Then it became awkward. Costas kept trying to make lemonade out this bore and droned about how the director succeeded in making this an awesome show. I'm wondering if we're watching the same thing.

    Agreed, Costas was trying too hard to sell it.

    Between the accidental death, lack of snow, and opening ceremony malfunction it's not exactly going smoothly for Vancouver up until now. And the first event hasn't even started. I hope things turn around.

    I liked the opening ceremony. I thought it was great that Canada gave center stage to its indigenous population.

    Very true. Mistakes aside. I thought the presentation that it painted a truthful Canadian and the heritage in a way that's very respectable. Might not be that flashy or showy but it was very respectable to the heritage and the people.
