    Why I don't watch ice skating or ice dancing

    Need I say more? Whoever designed these costumes (and hairstyles) may be guilty of crimes against humanity.

          That's not why I don't watch. I don't watch because it is boooorrring.

              The only things I have seen that involve ice skates that resembles sports in Hockey, and speed skating...

                  Ice skating is not my thing either. Skiing, Bob Sled, Hockey Ski Jumping, Biathlon, and my new favorite, Curling. Did some research to learn about it, I enjoy watching the strategy, After a busy it is nice to watch something Slooooooow.

                          Who the heck decided that ice dancing should be an olympic sport anyway!? It's right up there with championship ribbon twirling in the summer olympics.

                              Here's another reason:

                              Although I think that giving the figure skating contestants access to crowbars and 2-by-4's might make for more interesting viewing...

                                  Would you prefer a sport with minimalist clothing?

                                      I too don't like ice dancing. I will grant that figure skaters have athletic ability to do what they do, but the costumes for the guys are pretty sad.

                                      Now, some of the ladies on the other hand.. All in all, not enough to make me watch it.

                                          "Blades of Glory" was a great parody of that "sport".

                                              I thought blades of glory was real.

                                              Also, is it just me or does that blonde headed guy with the mullet look like Harry's brother from Dumb & Dumber?

                                                  .....at least both parties know who wins before the judges clue them in.

                                                      This outfit looks pretty good. But it may have something to do with the girl wearing it.

                                                      I reject your reality and substitute my own.

                                                          OK...if I were judging, she'd win most of the time!
