Will London in 2012 "Fake" any Part of Their Olympic Games?

Question

Now Sidney Australia has admitted that it's orchestra was miming instead of actually playing music, will London be planning to fake anything in 2012? This follows in the light that the Chinese faked a little girl singing and part of a fireworks display.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

They've already faked the budget!

Surely the government that brought you the "dodgy dossier" on Iraqi WMDs wouldn't knowingly mislead the public on something as important as a theatrical show to kick off a sporting event?

Answer 3

considering many UK pop groups couldnt sing their way out of a wet paper bag theyre bound to be miming

Answer 4

Only if Red Ken tries to stick his oar in

Answer 5

The whole reason they do that is to stop anything from going wrong and to present a prefect image of their country so i guess they will.

Answer 6

they will probably "fake" the fact the people love the olympics

whereas in reality most people are trying not to cry over the incredible cost of this waste of time  

Answer 7

by 2012,the hype surrounding the games will have subsided & reality will kick in.a lot of the facilities,wont exist or be of a poor standard.a watered down version of what was promised will be in place! however,it will still be over budget & a lot of people will be very very rich!

the so called 'legacy' will be a white elephant,on a scale of the millennium dome!

Answer 8

i think they should just use blue screen for everything and put the 9 billion back into making BRITON GREAT again

Answer 9

As far as i'm concerned they can fake anything they like so long as we don't have anything like that load of trite, embarrassing rubbish they played out for 8 minutes at the closing ceremony!

Answer 10

I think we should seeing as our budget is only half what China spent.  

Let's face it if the handover if anything to go by its going to be toe curling crass with lots of references to happy multicultural togetherness when we all know we can't stand each other and moan about our neighbours 24/7!!!!!

We also have 'previous' in this area - we faked the fireworks on the Thames over the Millenium - pretending it went up the Thames so fast no one could see it!!!!  LOL.... that was hilarious...

Answer 11

the brits are great fakes by themselves.

So this should just do it....

Answer 12

they fake the whole thing.

Answer 13

I fake my orgasms

Answer 14

Depends, as long as its not the Olympic stadium the rest is immaterial.

ME    if this effin government did not waste so much money on top heavy bureaucrats in government, hospitals, and schools, more could be achieved in getting these services right. Its about time people understood that this government has wasted hundreds of billions on projects that have had no impact on our lives. The money for the Olympics, is part lottery,  part private finance, and taxpayers, and i am fed up with the whingers who say that money could be better spent elsewhere. Ask them where the 50 billion or more went that was used to bail out Northern Rock, more money than is going to be allocated to the Olympics.

ZFX    actually i am positive that most of the singers at the Beijing Olympics were miming.

Answer 15

I hope not, Were a proud country and shouldnt have to fake anything. I would be deeply ashamed if they faked anything.  

Answer 16

i'd fake it all and use the existing places. Then spend the money on something usefull like hospitals, pensioners homes and people who can't get houses

Answer 17

Yes.....The opening ceremony.....They won't be ready on time.lol

Answer 18

Ask Mr Coe if he has cheated at any time.

Answer 19

I would like to see London being brave enough to stage a simple basic opening ceremony, with a declaration that the Olympics is a sporting event, and there is no need for a ballyhoo razzmatazz entertainment extravaganza to start it off.
