Well, after a light hearted but patriotic start, I lost interest somewhere in the latter half. I really got a kick out of the Mountie segment though.

I have to say the inflatables were embarrassing. Tacky tacky tacky.
I could have been worse though...it could have had the Rankins and all those other inbred clogging types.

Re: Olympic Closing Ceremonies
Closing ceremony is always way less official and pompous. And it usually has more of a party tone than the official event. So, it kinda fell in line. Not my style though.
