This one I actually sort of get. I read once that the oldest known set of tarot cards are Italian. I don't know what it has to do with the olympics, but I'm guessing that is where they are going with the tarot cards.

A dizzying array of circus acts, parades and carnival shenanigans followed — clowns on swings and swiveling in large hoops, ballerinas and tumblers, acrobats dangling high above the stage from ribbons and rings, a stilt walker jumping rope, dancers dressed as Tarot cards. One convoy of clowns was equipped with vintage Italian motor scooters and pint-sized Fiat 500s, one of the smallest cars ever mass-produced.

I swear I thought one of the lines in Martin's song was "What kind of hell is this? SOmebody wake me up!"

How appropriate.

The big bride showed up carrying a calla lily on steroids...and scared the flame out. It was "odd".

There are plenty of good Italian music acts, why did they have to trot so many English and American acts for the opening and closing ceremonies?
