I watched the opening ceremony for the olympics in Torino or Turin as some call it. OK so somebody thought it would be swell to get a bunch of people crawling around on a giant screen with retracting cables attached to them so they could do some really neat manuevers and eventually synchronize to form a dove-- an international sign of peace. As I watched these white forms crawl around and eventually form the image of a dove I was sickened by what I saw as the skeleton of a dove as you would find its remains on the ground somewhere and then as the forms dispersed I could not help but think of maggots feeding on the decomposing carcass.

Boy am I weird.
