Olympics
Was there some sort of rule this year that ice dancers had to wear the fugliest things on the planet? Were they paying tribute to something? Hookers of the world, perhaps? (Now *there's* a Small World ride for you.) It's as if they dredged up style sketches from the '80s, took a step back and said, "I'm not sure that's quite tacky enough."

I'll have you know it hurts to spew hot tea through one's nose. Warning next time, please!
Maybe they're going for the OMG I can't believe they wore THAT factor to distract from the fact that they secretly wanted to do pairs figure skating?

Awwww! *tries not to laugh*

Maybe that's it. Maybe the fluorescent animal prints are meant to distract people from the fact that they have to do things like "twizzle."

And those twizzles are the death of ice dancing.. as were the lifts where the ladies kept pulling their skates towards their heads to score extra points *shakes head*
And to think that the free dances were actually -good- compared to the original dances.. I want back to the late eighties-early nineties please!
Back to speed skating ;-)

I spent the whole time thinking that I really REALLY like pairs skating way better.
Back to speed skating ;-)
Just as long as they don't start wearing fugly clothes.

*giggles* Have you ever seen speedskating? It's men (and women) in tights *g*
*points at icon* In the case of the Dutch: orange tights. We're Team Carrot this year, thanks to the 'designers' over at Nike ;-)
Although at least this year they combined orange and midnight blue, rather than the orange and skyblue they used in Salt Lake City ;-)
Still not quite as fugly as those ice dancing costumes though ;-)

They don't wear stuff like that in curling...
no subject
It's kind of hard to get an idea of the full outfit, but this is probably bad enough.
And wearing stuff like that during curling would confirm my theory of its drunken origins...
no subject
because it's not an Olympic level sportbecause there isn't as much interest? I would've preferred that. Assign them to crappy early afternoon slots, kthnx.no subject

But the funniest moment of the Olympics so far... the Italian bird and her death glare. I'm trying to find a pic for an icon as we speak!!

Probably. It probably was symbolic of deep symbolism...or something.
