I know! That mullet is inexcusable.

Agreed.

Haha, during the ONTD Free For All Olympic posts, someone else said this.

However, I hope Lysacek wins gold and Plushenko's tacky chains hit him in the eye.

Yes!

lickety_split February 19 2010, 03:52:27 UTC

YES!

Yes. I hope Evan wins and I hope Johnny Weir wears something epic. I really, really just want him to be Lady Gaga on ice. Even though I know he is not :(

I was wondering about that, because that's kind of the feeling I was getting too. It didn't help that he kept calling everybody his "enemies", but still. It was a tad heavy handed.

I've been searching diligently since I saw it, but I've had no luck. I'm sorry!

I saw it, and it played in my mind as Plushenko putting on the scariest game face he could-playing on the reputation of a cold, calculating bad guy. (And it seems to me that the narrator of the piece said as much, but I could be wrong.)
