OT: Sochi 2014 Olympics - General Discussion - All Non-Hockey Olympic Talk Here

[Qward]

Anyone else find it funny that the Russians came out to Tatu?

 

[MakeOttawaGreatAgain]

who comes up with this stuff

I like it so far. Some weird bits here and there, but in general really nicely done. It's what I like compared to the Euro Cup / World Cup openings. These ones are a lot deeper and more artistic, those are super poppy and have Ricky Martin and Shakira.

Tatu is the headliner for the opening ceremony.

 

[Alfieghetti]

can you think of another russian band? (***** riot turned it down)

 

[Benjamin]

The opening ceremony is such a waste time and money. Its irrelevant.

 

[maclean]

Ya, so irrelevant. Not like there's probably a billion people watching it or anything.

I thought Russians weren't allowed to come out at all.

From fake gays to closeted ones!

I lol'd at the Olympic ring malfunction.

But the guy who fell is probably not lol'ing on his way to the gulag!

you know what else is a waste of time and money?
The front and back covers on a book. I mean really, the content is still there why do you need a cover?
also:
Superbowl half time show.
Any all-star game.
Paint on a car.
Manned space exploration.
Art. Definitely art.
Fancy buildings - in fact lets just roll architecture all into this category.

Frankly all you need for an Olympics is a stopwatch and some chalk. (perhaps a measuring tape but cant you just use a stick?)

Belly buttons are my pet peeve. What a complete waste of biological whozamawhichet.

Greedy Russians holding out for more money in the NHL?????

Covers of books serve as protectors for the contents inside.
Car paint prevents rust/corrosion.

The rest I agree with, really.

That tatu cover is great.

Yea but do they really need to put artwork on the front of a book? A blank page with just the title would do fine.
