Opening Ceremonies Produced By Drunks



...or maybe pillheads. Or maybe both. That is the only possible explanation for the travesty that was the Winter Olympics kick-off party last night. It is the new millenium. These are the first Winter Olympics on European soil in the 21st Century. Europe is united like never before. Italy is on the world stage. Everyone is enthralled with the beauty of Torino.

So what do we get? People walking around with giant balloons on their heads like they are some bad stand-up comic act. People walking around with fire coming out of their heads like they are hella pissed about something or other. The ultimate kick in the head was the Parade of Nations or whatever they call it. Disco music. 70's disco music as background to all the countries entering the stadium. "First, Last and Everything" by Barry White. And was that the country of Iran walking in to the tune "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps? Burn the mother down!
