What the fuck, Italy? Apparently, the entertainment for the Opening Ceremonies was provided by Club Vandersexxx. I mean, hey, do your thing, Italy… but some of this was just fucking weird.

Um, I missed the beginning part, but that whole blacksmith thing creeped me out in the ending montage. The rest of it was okay, though the Lennon thing sucked in my opinion.

Yoko Ono at the opening ceremonies?? Who came up with that. She was there to promote togetherness. Hey she broke up the Beatles!

First we watched as Italy let Club Vandersexxx put on the opening ceremonies, which were only redeemed by the drilling whine of an F1 Ferrari doing donuts in the middle of the festivities. (Atlanta: now joined in redneckdom by Torino. Thanks for bailing us out, amici!) The ceremonies looked like a phantasm taken straight from our most feverish Nyquil-addled dreams, especially when the men in red body suits began to rollerblade around the stadium with flame shooting from their helmets. Offseason nightmares: a cascade of Euro-crap. [...]
