Uh, does anyone know why the guys at this ceremony are wearing dresses?

No homo.

Also, how was the flame lit? I thought it was lit by the sun. It looks like they cheated.

Live spectators? TV audience? The Tour de France might have more people watching in person.

To be honest, I was really just talking about my personal opinion.

In terms of viewers and casual interest, the Olympics will probably be bigger around the world.

In terms of pure passion among spectators, Euro 2012 may well be bigger and definitely in Europe.

Guess it's a long shot, but it would be cool if Janet Evans made the team.
