YOG is in town

The Youth Olympic Games have arrived. I've notice the last few days since it has started that everywhere I go I would see someone in the purple YOG uniform. There sure are a lot of volunteers helping out at the various venues. There are dedicated lanes for the buses and other YOG vehicles to travel on, the mascot Lyo and Merly are pratically everywhere and of course the YOG theme song is blazing on the TV. Basically it's a nice song sung by 5 young people representing the different continents. And than there is the YOG cheer. Now that really sucks. I am not a fan of it, and it got dished in the papers and online forums etc. etc. sung by JJ Lin or someone like that and has that rather silly hand movement with the 'yeah, yeah, yeah ho' stuff. Definately not a fan but I showed it once to my 2 7 month old kids and they started laughing !!! They think it is funny and so daddy now has to do that silly hand sign and "yeah yeah yeah" bit just to keep them entertained.
