What did everyone think of the closing ceremonies?

I saw the WHOLE THING and enjoyed it tremendously.

Just to put in perspective how much butt the American women kicked:

Here's a fun fact for you: Only two countries won as many gold medals at the 2012 Olympics as the 29 earned by the United States women.

That's right, just two countries matched the American women in gold medals. China as a country won 38, while Great Britain took home 29, tying the U.S. ladies. I think it's safe to say that American women dominated these Olympics.
