Those Crazy Vikings

My mom asked me what was the big deal about the pants worn by the Norwegian Olympic curling team. Since I haven't been keeping up with such things, I had to take a look.

Those are definitely memorable pants. King Harald V of Norway liked them so much, he got himself a pair.
I wonder how long it will take before you see people strolling down the streets of Winnipeg clad in such fine duds? I'm almost tempted; I'm just not sure how they would look on a curvy girl.
