London Mayor Welcomes You to the Olympics Sort Of

Boris Johnson, mayor of London, has plenty on his plate given the start of the 2012 London Olympics are merely days away -- but his busy schedule hasn't stopped him from welcoming visitors to his fair city in this video.

Ok, so the above video is actually Johnson, but it's a clever and cheeky re-cut of the mayor's television appearances arranged to mock the Olympic Games. Many of the clips are from a BBC documentary presented by Johnson entitled The Dream of Rome.
