IOC to FIFA: Our opening ceremony will be worse

Following the breathtakingly-miserable performance at the opening ceremony for the 2014 World Cup this Thursday, the IOC has announced that their opening ceremony will be worse.

"I've seen some miserable opening ceremonies before," said an IOC spokesman, "but ours for the 2016 Olympics will be a lot worse."

It will be hard to match the quality of performance exhibited in São Paulo, but the IOC promises that there will be more people in tree costumes, random people dancing around uncoordinated, along with mediocre American pop singers who cannot lip sync.

"All of that and many more surprises! 2016 will have the worst opening ceremony of any sporting event ever!"

Many of the stadiums built for the World Cup will be used for the 2016 Olympics.
