    Most of those people that were supposed to be in the stands probably got too drunk to find their way to the building.

    So, I ignored the fuck out of the closing ceremonies. But fuck yeah, Canada won the gold medal for hockey and I have a new verb. I John Montgomeryed the fuck out of two pitchers tonight.

    parodying yourself is fine if you do it right

    this wasn't done right it was just kinda well, WHAT

    isn't that even more canadian then

    Just kinda what are you doing this is ridiculous and you can't help but get swept up in the insanity of the whole thing. Out of nowhere there is a giant hockey puck that is a cute as a button little kid and he is running around between giant cutouts of hockey players and then sexy mounties dance for a while until they are outshined by sexy maple leaves and for reason bill shatner is here and marty mcfly says hello

    it was just a whole bunch of fun

    well I get that the closing ceremonies are meant to be a huge party whereas the openings are meant to be all hey look how classy and cultural we are

    but seriously

    between the huge hockey players and the massive mounties and the giant flying moose and the giant beavers and Nickelback and Avril and Alanis Morrissette

    it's like

    I feel like someone just drowned me in a bucket full of maple syrup and that's not a good feeling

    Inflatible beavers, lead by LUMBERJACKS!!

    The only thing it was missing was a shower of teeth from the ceiling as the "hockey fight" broke out.

    No do not critisise William Shatner.

    He was fine.

    The woman was useless.

    Micheal J Fox was a bit disappointing.

    He was basically going, Gee I enjoy doing <CANADIAN STEREO TYPE HERE> then pause for the applause the repeating it got kinda boring.

    I'm not really criticizing Shatner, he was great, but the lame graphics they threw up. I mean, the sex in canoe joke was a little bit of a groaner, but did they really need to visualize it 40 feet in the air with sound effects?

    And again with peeing in snow?

    Hedley is the result of the most entertaining Canadian/American Idol contestant EVER, and for that I cannot hate it or him.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_UHDrO3APc

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24086Qrv32c

    Here is his 'finale' performance when he purportedly intentionally got himself kicked off the show at #3 (and may have even rigged the vote with the producers to pull it off) so he could get a better contract and go with his band rather than being stuck with an idol contract. He was leagues better than all the other contestants before or since:

    They are completely undeserving of touching any form of medal.

    There should be a new olympic sport the next time. Beat Nickleback to death. First one to kill Krueger gets the gold.

    I wonder what it's like to be a member of a terrible band that no one likes but somehow still has success. Like, do they feel guilty for making money off that shit? Do they worry about what will happen when the devil comes and demands they uphold their part of the bargain?

    edit: or is this their part of the bargain? Give them success and they will torture the world with awful music.
