Memorable?
Was it just me, or was a purple-faced William Shatner talking to the world about how Canadians can make love in canoes weird? I thought the Shatner pigletizing of the Ceremonies was going to be rescued by Catherine O’Hara — who brilliantly came out behind a pair of curling players rubbing the ice directly in front of her as a kind of Canadian red carpet — but then she started talking about peeing in the snow.
And then showed fake (I hope) images of words spelled in the snow with urine! I mean, this is the Olympics!
And then, Bob Costas, obviously feeling the devolving mood, remarked of the giant inflatable beavers being paraded around while female Mounties stripped in the background, ” . . . and the always enjoyable giant inflatable beaver!”
Beaver jokes and piss at the Olympics?!
Catherine O’Hara’s entrance.
