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.

It WAS especially weird this time. I liked the guy walking around on the spinning cube...
