The Olympics start tomorrow, and I am very excited, because before there are sports, there is the opening ceremonies. And the opening ceremonies are always completely cracked. The gold standard for Olympic wtfuckery is, of course, Turin, featuring as it did treemen, women with giant balloons on their head, and ballroom dancers in cow motif. I doubt VanOc will have managed to top that, but if the preview we got at the last Olympics is any indication, I expect it to be a cavalcade of Canadian sterotypes: lumberjacks and trappers and beavers and Mounties galore. Celine Dion may or may not be involved (let's hope for not). It is going to be maple-flavoured crack, and I can't wait.
