Yes, I watched the Opening Ceremonies

[ksmith]

In the WTF? category:
Waltzing cows?
Skating pines?
Eva Herzigova on the half-shell?
The beating heart in the middle of the ring thing
Yoko Ono
Athletes entering the stadium to the strains of 70s/80s disco

The Good stuff:
Athletes dressed in Armani
Carla Bruni carrying in the Italian flag
The women who held the name-of-country plaques in front of each group of athletes wore costumes by Missoni
The parade of athletes
Slovenian men ::dies::
Sophia Loren helped carry the Olympic flag
Peter Gabriel singing Imagine
Luciano Pavarotti singing the finale

The wooden cows on skates were bad enough, but the couples dressed in the spotted costumes? Nonono.

I wondered if I was the only one who noticed.

It was like, en masse. Attack of the Male Supermodels.

Yeah, the spotted costumes really had me ROFL. I can't imagine how someone thought that was a good idea.
