Olympic captions
Iconic? To be iconic, something has to have "conventional formulaic style".
In what executive producer Marco Bacilli described as an "iconic moment," silver-clad dancers appeared with big, white bubbles stuck to their heads. Bacilli, who has staged concert shows for U2 and the Rolling Stones, said the balls signified snow, of which there is none in Turin.
Can you imagine not ever having experienced snow, and being introduced to it by this?
"Oh my God! The snow's coming! The snow is marching on us!"
Which of course suggests a caption contest. The prize? Only the hope that Marco Bacilli continues to produce iconic silliness.

"After holding onto limited power despite near total internal collapse, the Liberal Party of Canada has preemptively hired a new team of compain strategists revered for their over-sized brains. Mr. Martin claims to have been introduced to them by the man at the bar who sold him magic beans while he conceived constitional reforms on his napkin the night before his memorable debate."

In a surprise move, the United Nations entered its own Winter Olympic team, the Swelled Heads (Swells for short), to the Turin lineup. Don Cherry immediately burst their bubble: "Medals? These bobbleheads don't have a snowball's chance in hell."

...but the real question is, would you be willing to get paid $25 and have your face splashed all over the world's TV's, newspapers, and blogs as a dribble resulting from a misfired Italian orgasm?

Sorry was laughing too hard at the ones above, like the Nutcracker one...I'll try it again:

...reminds me of Woodie Allen's "Everything you wanted to know about sex, but were afraid to ask" movie he did back in the 70's.
