       I've heard alot on Rowan Atkinson's act on London Olympics
       opening. However, didn't get to see any. What did you guys feel?

       What did I feel? A mixture of regret, hate, and a general sense
       of impending doom. Didn't see Rowan Atkinson though.

       Rowan Atkinson – in the Mr Bean persona – one which the whole
       world has come to know and love
       Carving out a portion of the Olympics Opening Ceremony for Mr
       Bean’s cameo was a fitting tribute to a wonderful show, a moment
       truly symbolic of British television’s history

       The mime acts of Mr. Bean are ubiquitous in a way that they are
       easily understood. He has demonstrated that speaking does not
       always need to be involved in communication. Silence, in fact,
       is a common language around the world, and anyone and everyone
       who has watched Mr. Bean would be able to identify with the
       situations he gets himself into.
       I think it's apt that the International Olympics event invited
       him to perform, as, regardless of language, everyone would be
       able to understand what he is doing. His acts appeal to the
       masses, and people watching him at the stadium could probably
       laugh at me in unison even though he/she doesn't know a word of
       his neighbour's language. Laughter, much like mime acts, are
       pretty much understood universally and across barriers.
