Sherri and I watched the very impressive openning ceremonies. I enjoyed seeing the many non-bifurcated native attire during the Parade of Nations.

Unfortunately, the male NBC announcer had nothing but putdowns for people who were wearing anything but American-style clothing. His female co-announcer was clearly getting frustrated with him. At one point she was excited about the beautifully colorful traditional garb of one of the coutries passing by. The guy said something like, "Well, if you're gonna wear a getup like that you have to just hold your head up and strut like you mean it."

The female announcer was about to say something, but only part of a word came out over the air.

It's too bad they had such a stereotypically provincial jerk as an announcer. That spoiled it some for me. And they talked the entire time, even through Bjork's performance. That was just lame.
