I went today to the ballet with my mom and my 5-year old niece. The ballet had just begun and several dancers in their special skin-colored leotards were dancing around, as usually happens at the ballet, and my GENIUS niece waited until an appropriately quiet point in the music to declare, "THEY'RE NAKED, RIGHT?" "No, they just look like they're naked." "NO, THEY'RE NAKED." Ok, fine. They're naked. Think about how much more interesting the ballet would be if everyone was naked. I think a number of things would make the ballet more interesting: booze, fireworks, clowns, rock music...which is to say, everything that isn't the ballet is infinitely more interesting than ballet itself.
Wow, I have no idea where this hatred for ballet came from.
