What would happen if, God forbid, we hosted the Olympics?

Inspired by a chat during the Olympics over sushi at Sheboya with Alien Kitten and Earthling.

The program:

  • National Anthem
  • Opening words by El Rayess
  • Army manoeuvres
  • Pharonic themed dance with secondary school kids dressed up like Neffertiti and doing aerobics.
  • Mohamed Tharwat and Afaf Rady (or some other previously retired female performer) sing some sort of medley of praises to the Rayess, accompanied by some kiddie choir.
  • A band from old Egypt does a number involving Sufi dancing, Tannouras, dancing horses and gunfire (we are not responsible for casualties).
  • A “Elleila Elkbeera” segment featuring the notorious “Arragoz” and Nelly Karim.
  • A “3arroset elmolled” segment, also accompanied by the return of some long-lost celebrity.
  • Amr Diab makes a day-view with the new and improved techno-house remix of “bel7ob etgama3na”, performed live accompanied by some hip local DJ and Wust El Ballad as backup.
  • Olympic torch designed to look like a giant shishah.

Other things worthy of note:

  • There will be sponsors! Who’s logos and branding will be splattered all over the pyramid side stadium and embedded into the segments and costumes.
  • We will not be in sync and the government will have a hard time finding volunteers or people willing to participate.
  • The logo will be pharonic inspired, with the 5 rings made to look like they were invented 7000 years ago. The slogan will be “for a better tomorrow for our kids and yours”.
  • Security precautions will be extreme and they will get a scare every time fireworks go off.
  • The ceremony will not start on time.
  • All the celebs from the infamous “nawart masr” advertisement will take turns presenting segments.
  • Youssra might sing, you never know!
  • We will hire some foreign director to manage the whole event.
  • The press will either hate it or love it. You can’t half-ass this kinda stuff, either you’re kissing ass or you’re not.

Hmmm, what do you guys think? Any potential segments we may have missed?

    BTM & Mariel Louis haye3melo outfit galabeyyat se3eedy.
    You forgot to mention the military parachoute troopers.
    I would propably guess that security won’t identigy Mr. Jaque Rogue ( head of olympic comitee ) and would prevent him from entering

  7. Insomniac: Yeah, pending of course on ART having exclusive air rights.

    JAT: He’s one of the nawart masr troops, as for Suzy loool :)

    Jessyz: Don’t you think?

    Amy: Thank you!

    Jpierre: Thanks :)

    Belya: :) Not a Amr Diab fan? LOL @ Marie Louis se3eedy style :) The parachute troopers are part of the military maneuvers. LOOOL Did you know that this actually happened when we hosted the African Cup of Nations?

  8. Juka…you cracked me up :D
    and who is gonna ignite the olympic torch? a flying pharaoh tab3an.

  9. Nerro: Yup, Horus himself :)

  10. I think we can include Hisham Abbas doing his indian dance. You know, the olympics being international and all that. :)

    The giant shisha-torch is brilliant!!
    Though I don’t think that Horus will get to light up the torch:
    the ghafeer guarding the stadium would’ve *borrowed* it before the show, you know, 3ashan yedrablo 7agarein badel el dawsha di kollaha.

  11. Mo: LOOOOL! :)

  12. sadly true ..

  13. Eman: We maloh!

  14. there’s also the army filling every stadium with the strange colored outfits and after the games you’d see everybody talking about how it was a success and that we smashed the guinness record! long live our cheering army!
