closing ceremonies

What a lame Vancouver presentation

closing ceremonies | Torino 2006

That was a painful segment promoting Vancouver.  C'mon organizers, that was puzzling, weak, uninteresting and unfocused.  Giant fake snow blocks making a stone monument ... huh?  We can do better! 

and Avril!  What happened to the cool punky chick?  What's with the Farrah Fawcett hair and froofy look?  Looks like the 3rd Olsen twin.  Get the handlers away from her!  Should have got a BC artist (like DOA but not Bryan Adams) or even Barenaked Ladies (they were classic at SLC).  Sam did all right though.

Overall, Ugh.  Embarrassing.  Vancouver is so much cooler then they showed and this is B.C.'s games, not 'Canada's' per se.  Let BC show off, no reason to include shots of Toronto in the cheesy montage.

VANOC clearly needs some folks with artistic sensibilities on staff.  Comments?
