~STORY OF THE WEEK~
SOMBER SHOW
SOMBER SHOWDISASTROUS DAY IN CANADA
LUGER DIES & DULL CEREMONY ENDS IN DISAPPOINTMENT
A dead athlete and a dead pillar. After Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a tragic accident at the hands of a controversial training course in Vancouver, Canada's opening ceremony aired with high expectations to wound broken hearts. The world watched as Canada's endless sharades finally ended with a disasterous technical malfunction. While Canadian heroes held the four olympic torches, minutes of cheezy music rang throughout the stadium as tension grew awkward for the 100,000 fans present. Three of four pillars subsequently rose out of the ground, leaving an awakward design on fire in the middle of the arena. The three and a half hour ceremony, embellished with over-produced, undeniably random and tremendously confusing songs, was decorated with disorganized and made-up aboriginal dances. Although highlighted by an impressive symphony of tap dancing as well as some neat progetiled effects, the show was a monumental dissapointment in following Bejing's epic ceremony two years ago. While most will forget the ceremony and reflect instead on the loss of luger Kamaritashvili, Canada will be forced to live in its shame for years to come.
