UK-2012

Joke making the rounds.

To try to top the Beijing Olympic Opening ceremonies, London will have Amy Winehouse sing a rousing rendition of GodSave the Queen by the Sex Pistols and light the Olympic torch with her cigarette butt. Assuming she isn't in jail or hospitalized.

During each closing ceremony, the IOC president usually gives a speech where he says, "I call upon the youth of the world to assemble in four years in _______________ (name of next Olympic city)..." I get teary-eyed every time I hear that. It's so emotional.
