Or 303 as in .303 - the weapon of choice amongst many gun owners in Britain?

Why were there precisely 303 games? Not 302 or 304? Coincidence of a message?

Well how very ignorant of you. I guess you believe the official government story on 9/11 to.

If you were picked to do a dance or a card trick at the Olympics, would you think "I'm performing in front of children and pensioners right across the world and, you know what? What this outfit really needs is belt with a skull on it that's marginally less than adult size!"

George Michael is a provocateur, and may i say something of a hero since giving the media the finger regarding his sexual exploits.

I'm not gay so i'm not partisan here, but it was plain to all what a heroic rebellious answer his single 'Outside' was to the conservative press who tried to shame him for cruising toilets for men. Not my cup of tea, but i applaud his refusal to carry on the clean-image lies.

However, this is all moot. Just the assertion that his belt = illuminati/conspiracy is still not standing up. Are you saying that 'adult' costumes are not the norm for tv concerts? Have you ever seen the crap they feed the kids on tv?

If it were one of us ATS'ers suggesting that i'd have a laugh with you.

It wasn't. It was during the show that everyone tells their kiddies to aspire to.

Horrid dress sense too. Seriously, a guy who was last popular 20 years ago? And has since been disgraced many many times in various states of undress. Not really iconic anything

Please refer to my answer above.

Going to ignore all the turds that were wrong. Again. Just like 21st December will be. If anything ever happens, you'll never see it coming.

This thread sums up what idiocy is.

Just to add a bit more to this... Did anyone notice the newspaper clippings on the stage? When that group Stomp were on I noticed a snippet stating "This is how the world ends."

I had to rewind it just to be sure.

They weren't news paper clippings on the stage. They were fragments of poems by British poets. What you saw was a line from the last verse of a T.S. Eliot poem.

Between the desire, And the spasm
Between the potency, And the existence
Between the essence, And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is, Life is, For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

—T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men" (1925)

Mystery solved.

The just took out Softball and Baseball for thsi Olympics. They will add Golf and Rugby for the next one.

Maybe this is due that there arent enough countries playing Baseball and Softball?

How can you make a connection with guns? OK for the number 33 which has a meaning but not guns, we dont have a problems with guns here. Its more a knife problem.

Hate to say it but Harry looked anxious, stared dead ahead, no smile...

He was probably bored and couldn't change the channel like those of us fortunate enough to be watching from home!

Hi, everyone. I am new here, but the octopus blow-up thing the DJ was standing in made my skin crawl. Today, I came across a link in my research on Marian apparitions. A seer in the 1970s saw what she called a Devil Fish. Take a look at the link with the drawing of what she saw. It is about halfway down the page on the right. Creepy coincidence??

I know most of the "Headlines" were from poems and or famous books including A Tale of Two Cities but I wonder about the inspiration behind this one, unless the Mars landing was its theme.

Ooh look there's men in turbans playing drums, and they're building a pyramid with 303 boxes while Kate Bush sings Running Up That Hill. Wonders what the daft fearmongers can make out of that?

My question is, after watching the NBC recording of it:

Why did NBC in America cut that out?? THATS THE REAL QUESTION !!!

I had to google it to find out what you were talking about.......NBC literally cut that segment out!!

ALSO: What was up with the opening car blowing up with Batman and Robin coming out?? I thought that was odd especially with what recently happened here with Dark Knight Rising shooting in Colorado....hmmmmm

Just spent the last few hours reading this entire 23 page thread
Thank you all for the fun! It was better than actually watching the ceremony LOL
What a hoot!!!

Someone posted that 303 is the first area code of Colorado, Aurora phones.
If that is true then, there are some sick people out there.

reply to post by Starwise


because there is a lot of ignorance in the US in regards to turbans.

This actions actually feed racism and sterotype(ism?)


Jut like the monkey ad and the black gymnast. Only the ones that see the connection are the sickmind

This completely blew me away.

What is going on?

Who is allowing this? Are the crowds unaware? Totally? No seeking, researching afterwards, about what they say?

Those # ers!!!!
