Rio is more than samba and Carnival.

Granted, but is it men in silver metal suits with oversized headgear?

London went into kitsch overdrive as it sampled five decades of British music Sunday night at the Olympics closing ceremony, but Rio's 2016 organizers appeared determined to out-weird them.

No matter ? a beaming Pele was in the house.

Rio had me at "hello" ? er, "Oi." Hey boss, can I go?
