What could Britain do to top the Beijing Opening Ceremonies...?

Question

...or is it unfair to compare because of China's totalitarian regime and the vast amount of money they could spend?

Answer 1

better judges/athlets that were the age that they should be

Answer 2

I don't think they will be comparable.

Answer 3

First of all China is not a totalitarian regime since there are many privately-own business. The people in China are free to move, free to travel in and out of the country, free to find new jobs, free to buy any consumer item they want, free to get stinking filthy rich, something that totalitarian dictators do not allow. If you don't know that; please jump off a cliff right now.

To the question. Make it hip and make it cool.

I already know Britain has already violated human rights: travelers and businesses which were displaced to make way for the games.

Answer 4

They won't, after all the BS they've put China through, when it's time for them to host it, China's gonna fire back at what Britain did during the Beijing Olympics.

Soon, they'll get a taste of their own propaganda.

Answer 5

The fellow responsible for the ceremonies in London said he has no intention of trying to. It will be fun, athletic and youthful. You can bet the organizers of the Winter Olympics won't be trying to top it either. China was sending a message to the world that they are changing. It was political and not about the athletes. Yeah the Communist party lets their people do anything they want... let's talk about their long list of human rights violations.

Answer 6

Make the Americans walk in last.

Reflecting their new world status.  No one could top that!
