Heading to the shop this afternoon, I was thinking about the LA Olympics once again, and was struck by an idea. Frankly, if it ever came about, it might well be the greatest idea ever. I’m still bothered by the prospect of Trump getting his grubby little hands on the opening ceremony, and turning it into a hideous self-aggrandising wankfest. But then a cool idea hit me: who would be the best person to direct the ceremony? Having just watched a few South Park clips on Youtube, it occurred to me that surely it would be utterly awesome if Matt Stone and Trey Parker were asked to direct it. Just think what they could do: how deliciously irreverent it would be; how epic, how puerile! The guys who gave us this, directing an entire olympic opening ceremony, right in front of the arrogant p’tahk!

Of course, I know it simply isn’t going to happen – they’re Canadian, for one. But at a time when Trump and American politics is becoming more and more frightening, this idea was simply too delicious to keep to myself!
