DJ Mischief at the Olympics

Did anybody notice the slightly mean-spirited spin the Turin Stadium DJ put on his playlist during the parade of nations?

Here are his most stellar picks:

Michael Jackson’s „Don’t Stop 'Til You Get Enough“ for Belgium.
If you don't live in Europe, you might not be aware of the fact, that the biggest news story coming out of Belgium in the past ten years was the trial against pedophile child killer Marc Dutroux and his accomplice wive, so playing Jacko for that country is of course rather mean in both directions of the reference.

Santa Esmeralda’s „Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood“ for Denmark.
No hard guesses, why Denmark deserves "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" with half of the Muslim world going apeshit over some Danish cartoons which were disrespectfully depicting The Prophet.

Donna Summer’s „Hot Stuff“ for Ethiopia.
Playing "Hot Stuff" for Ethiopia was kind of an Olympic inside joke, since the only Ethiopian athlete at the winter games is one of the twelve athletes suspended, because they might have used some illegal performance enhancing substances.

Dan Hartman’s „Relight My Fire“ for France.
"Relight My Fire" is obviously a reference to the recent riots in the French banlieues, when thousands of immigrant ghetto boys torched cars, shops and schools. And since there's growing fear that these riots might flare up again, Dan Hartman's all the more fitting.

Lipps Inc.’s „Funkytown“ for India (and Iran).
Well, maybe "Funkytown" was already past the mischief hour. On the other hand it was cued to the entrance of India, which does have the city of Calcutta. Or did they mean Bombay, given that European cable channels started to play Bollywood fare a while ago? And why did the song play all the way through to the entrance of nuclear sabre-rattling, holocaust denying, women veiling, modern civilization hating Iran? That country sure ain't funky, but outright dangerous.

Right around the letter 'I' somebody must’ve caught on to him, because after that the songs didn’t cue to the entrances of new nations anymore. And playing Aretha Franklin’s „Freedom“ for the US and South Africa or Barry White’s „You're The First, The Last, My Everything“ for Thailand’s lone competitor don’t really qualify as witty.
