Final Fantasy meets the Olympics

[moonwise]

Trailer for the London 2012 Games

Dear the UK:

That trailer was a little scary. From Japan, I'd expect it, but you're not Japan. Next time, just show the Silly Olympics.

Don't blame me! I wanted Paris to get the Olympics!

I feel certain that Paris's Opening Ceremonies would be a bunch of people sitting around smoking. XD

Now THAT would be an opening ceremony! (Especially since they'd pass the olympic torch round to light everyone's smokes with!)

*blinks* Do we... not have any real people participating in these stupid games that they had to go with CGI instead? Oh dear...

The more I see of the whole shambles the happier I am I'm not in London - or indeed the UK - this summer. I'm with Toffee on this one.

If only I could BE with you on this one and avoid the whole mess in London altogether! (Damn you limited bank account and outstanding student debts!)

What boggles me is that Britain has such a wealth of good entertainment (at least it seems so, from what makes it across the pond; here I refer to shows like Life on Mars, Coupling, The Office, etc.) and yet a Final Fantasy opening is what we get for the Olympics. Bzwuh?

GAH! It is the creepy CGI people!

CREEPY CGI PEOPLE!

Will the uncanny valley never cease its endless haunting of my life?

Just... give them some giant swords and impossible hair. That would make me feel better about the creepy CGI people.

I kind of liked it but I was just glad to be out of the UK when the Olympics starts. The people over there were complaining about it a lot when I was there.
