430: Burka Bellyflop

London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, Dystopian Symbolism

John C. Dvorak analyzes the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, describing it as a "dystopian" display that ignored the British monarchy in favor of "dancing bankers" and the National Health Service. He interprets the performance—which included a stunt double of the Queen jumping from a plane—as a subconscious admission of the British Empire's decline and surrender to financial interests.
