Well, not so much a kick off as a fund raiser.
They did a NYC variation on the classic carnival game where you have ducks in a little pool and you pick them up to see what prize you get. In the NYC Special Olympic fundraiser version, the little pool was the Hudson River and the little ducks were worth as much as $1million.
Of course, they only picked up one duck, and it wasn't a million dollar winner.
Read more about it at the Duck Race website.
Still it looked pretty cool on the CNN podcast. Then I saw a picture from the real Olympics kick off in china. See if you can tell which of these photos is from where…
I'm just sayin…
