Thanks for the clown warning. The closing ceremony coverage is about to start on the west coast, so at least I won't be frightened when the clowns show up.

The fact that the intruder got that far is certainly disturbing. I mean, the man was dressed in black and looked like it could be trouble. Yes, could have had an explosive.
WHERE THE HELL WAS SECURITY!!!!!!!!
To: Toby06
I strongly suggest lessons on an indoor wind machine first!
That goes without saying.:)

I just had a horrible thought. This means in the 2010 opening and closing ceremonies, all the music artists performing will be.............Canadian.
I guess its a given Celine Dion will the the big artist singing at the opening ceremonies. Uggghhhh.......

It looked like he had a warmup suit with him. Had probably worn it to sneak in.

Man gets on stage during Olympics closing ceremony
TURIN, Italy (AP) -- In a startling security breach, an intruder got on stage during Sunday's closing ceremony of the Turin Olympics.
The man approached the microphone during a speech by organizing committee chief Valentino Castellani and shouted, "Passion lives in Torino," the slogan of the games.
The man, identified by police as Spanish, was then whisked away by security officers and taken into custody for questioning.
Castellani didn't seem fazed by the incident and continued his speech uninterrupted.
The intruder was wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with the name of an online casino. Police said he had a Turin staff jacket, allowing him to blend in with volunteers near the stage.
In a separate incident at the start of the ceremony, a female streaker tried to run onto the stage but was turned back by security.
On Friday, a male streaker with the online gambling company's name on his chest ran out from the stands during the bronze medal curling match.
