Now we Brits can look like complete idiots on the world stage because the building project won't be completed on time and it'll cost way, way more than anyone thought it would!

It's good that the Frenchies ain't hosting it.

Just imagine, seven years from now...

In Paris....

At the beginning of the 400-meter dash...

The referee firing the pistol...

Every French guy in earshot has a cardiac arrest...

Our runners trip over the fallen Frenchies...

The US sprinting team is humiliated when Turkmenistan takes the gold.

Good thing it's in London; but let's make sure our atheletes keep away from kidney pie, Twiggy, and dentists.

Default Congrats to London!
Congratulations to London!

I thought it was so kewl......considering Chirac had just the day before opened his big mouth and insulted the Brits and their food when he thought a microphone was off.
