Imagine if 70 years ago we'd told them one day we'll remember this day with interpretive dance…

Nothing says honoring courage and sacrifice of The Greatest Generation like….interpretive dance.

Today’s D-Day ceremony at Sword Beach was some kinda something.
Must everything be so artsy?

Pres Obama and other leaders watched performance of dance and music climaxing with former French and German foes together as allies.

This is not a drill.
Anyone have video of the interpretive dance portion of the D-Day commemoration?

What blithering idiot thought interpretive dance was the correct way to honor veterans? That display was absurd.

oh my god seriously whose idea was it to have /interpretive dance/ on D-Day
— Christopher Wang (@christoper) June 6, 2014
Even 10 years ago "They commemorated D-Day with interpretive dance" would have been a mildly amusing joke. Now? Sigh.

I made the mistake of clicking that video of the interpretive dance bit at the D-Day memorial. OMG. OMFG.

Note to self: Don't let the French host the Olympics. This #DDay70 interpretive dance is the least appropriate way to honor the fallen.

You guys, just wait for the Treblinka interpretive dance.
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) June 6, 2014
So whose bright idea was it to stage interpretative dance for #DDay70? What's planned for the Battle of the Bulge? Show tunes?

This #interpretivedance shows why France needed the US in the first place

Can't take my eyes off the raw feed of the #interpretivedance and not in a good way. I'm rubbernecking.

Slo-mo ballet Nazis? France is honoring the D-Day anniversary with a 45 minute interpretive dance that is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

So the French opt to reenact WWII thru interpretive dance….oy vey #painful #DDay70
— Dominic OwenWilliams (@Liguaneaman) June 6, 2014
D-Day invasion commemorated by interpretive dance. We are a fallen civilization. Only question: whether we'll be replaced by Romans or Huns.
