I just watched the opening ceremony. The TV commentators do their bit, and in between, the TV studio has been asking a Norwegian movie guy what he thought about it. He thought the statue and history bit was cold and didn't like it because the embarrassing thing the Norwegians did 8 years ago with freaky looking kids was so warm and fuzzy, and he thought the flame lighting was boring.
It's nice to know a supposed culture personality is so incapable of appreciating a ceremony that is elegant, and one that isn't so jam packed with disjointed cute entertainment bits that you can't remember what happened after it's done.
