Spanning
the Globe-
The Olympics.
Wouldn't you love to go
to Torino?
The next best thing is the
website.
The nice people forgot to add the captions, so we decided
to do our little part for the
Espirit Olympique.*
Without
further delay, we present you,
the captions the website forgot to include.
*It's french, I think.
The Ceremony on Mount Olympus:
Commentary- What's with the funky torch? What's with the outfits?
See the cool greek ladies with their cool
conventional torch,
standing on Mt. Olympus
(Greece=
warm) See
said cool greek lady passing the torch to cold geek man, wearing winter
garb,
and holding what appears to be a gigantic Water Pik®.
CEREMONIAL PICTURES
Next, the torch is carried by many. Through Italy. The country that
invented fashion.
and yet....
Everyone is dressed like they're turning 40 in
Logan's Run!!
Of course, jealousy reared its ugly head...
Along the way...
at least they didn't make
him
wear that funky outfit
.
Sometimes, tragedy struck...

But it's all about millenia of
tradition!
