Wednesday AM Update: Blades of Glory + Vick

So I didn’t just kind of jinx tuesday’s olympic coverage and medal count, I screwed it harder than John Mayer would claim even Jessica Simpson would enjoy.

If you google image her, you get multiple nipple slips on page one...

Going into the day, USA had a solid lead in the medal count and each night of prime time coverage had been somewhere between dece-plus to sick (basically when all those Koreans fell down). Enter last night: Germany somehow leapfrogs us in medals, and a Lindsay Jacobellis DQ in the snowboard cross semis (not that this intrinsically mattered to me… she was one of those names that NBC decided it was going to focus on… but she seemed to not give a crap about her whole “redemption story” at all/ may be the most hipster athlete I have ever seen… h8-u-hpstrz) resulted in NBC covering every single random Czech, Italian, and Belgian man figure skater on top of the Canadasian hometown hero, the Russian with the mullet, an assortment of small Japanese men with lots of hair gel, and the US Delegation: A Todd from Wedding Crashers/Adam Lambert impersonator, some guy dressed in a gay version of “The Crow” costume, and Clay Aiken. Don’t get me wrong… there’s nothing wrong with these guys being gay… or just flamboyant and effeminate – whichever it is… and the shows these dudes put on are really impressive, but I just don’t remember men’s figure skating being THIS FLAMBOYANT.

The Painting was a Gift Todd...

I think I managed to avoid watching this event back in 2k6 and therefore don’t really have any memory of this event since the 2002 Romney Games. As a 14 year old, I may not have fully “gotten” what was going on with these guys, or maybe the movie Blades of Glory somehow became a self-fulfilling prophecy? Earlier this week, I noticed the striking similarity in affect between Amy Poehler in “Blades” and the real Tanith Belbin (has to be intentional), but it almost seemed like every skater who went out there was just trying to do a more over-the-top Chaz Michael Michaels immitation. Directly after Johnny Weir’s performance, I went on google to see what people were tweeting in real time and this is what I found:

Men’s skating: Johnny Weir rocked the pink tassel – the Adam Lambert of skating, it seems like.
siskita – twitter.com – seconds ago

Couldn't land the jumps without feathers...

Clearly, the winner here is “Marylin Manson at a renaissance fair”, but the point rests: the Weir performance/outfit/persona left a huge portion of America totally slackjawed staring at their T.V. in awe. (As an aside, Weir did get screwed in the judging) The craziest thing about the whole thing, Evan Lysacek’s outfit (pictured) was probably the “bro-est” costume we saw the entire night… and he’s wearing feathers. (Apparently, Lysacek dates Nastia Liukin… so mad props to him for pulling that level of girl in face of 24/7 self-induced emasculation).

No Sequens...

Another repeated oddity you see in figure skating: European men thinking it is somehow quaint to dress up in “American costumes” and perform to swing/big band for their frolicking. I had just sent an IM to my friend Mimi asking if the had seen any skaters not wearing sequens (she said no), when I saw this dude (Sam Contesti of Italy) make his way to the ice. At first I was relieved by his non-shiny outfit… and then enthused by his “Grapes of Wrath” gimmick, but by the time he was 20 seconds in, I felt like I was watching the portion of Zoolander in which Derek returns home to the coal mine and tries to hang out with the guys while wearing his mining costume.

… And we still have yet to experience the “free skate”. I may have the same motivations for watching it, that I have when I watch “disasters caught on home video” type shows on Spike or G4, but I’m sure I’m gonna watch the finals in this circus.

The only bright spots of the day’s olympic coverage: the “workmanlike” win by team USA over Switzerland in hockey… and the beginning of men’s curling – featuring an “extra ends” battle between powerhouses Norway and Canada.

Curling Uniforms have yet to really "mature" in their evolution...

I can’t reiterate enough how cool of a sport this is: imagine if baseball games took about half as long and both teams got to be batting at once. I mean: look at the outfits team Norway was wearing. They look like the dudes who come to your house to set up your moonbounce/astrojump (east/west coastal dialect) or petting zoo, and then awkwardly lurk for the entire party.

Although it seemed to sneak under the radar, BET’s The Michael Vick Project premiered last night as well, and I cannot plug the show enough. On episode one, MV7 dealt with bankruptcy proceedings, outcries against him on Philly talk radio, the support of the local NAACP chapter, speaking engagements with Philly’s urban youth community, and his loyal hood-rich girlfriend. It may sound pretty dry, but Vick is in a truly fascinating situation being both maligned as an evil man and lauded as a story of redemption… being bankrupt despite being a famous athlete… trying to tell kids not to do what he did… yet being on the pedestal to do so because he’s someone to emulate on some level. The one thing that is clear: he seems like a normal guy who just wants a chance to make things right… now lets see if he ends up starting under center for the Rams? Bills? Argonauts?

I also stumbled upon this legendary late 90s music video… TLC’s classic “Unpretty”… the only anti-plastic surgery music video that I can remember being made. Set in some sort of awful CGI 5th element temple and acid-trip meadow approximately 10 years in the hypothetical future… so 2009 or so, the video features a random ghetto gang fight, an obese girl coming to terms with her body, and “Chilli” contemplating breast implants. The best part: the demonization of Chilli’s boyfriend for being enthusiastic about her interest in breast impants. How would you react if your girlfriend sat you down with her computer and said “I want breast implants, what size do you think I should go for?”. She’d probably get pissed off if you tried to talk her out of it… You’d do exactly what this guy does… This video is really a landmark in American cultural history – enjoy…

Big NBA updates and some podcasts in the works…
