Eiffel Tower, shiney and blue

Me, Sean's brother Brian, and Sean watch a bright blue Eiffel Tower sparkle, Oct. 13, 2008.
We’re not in Paris anymore, but we didn’t get a chance to talk about something terribly important.
From Reuters:
PARIS (Reuters) - France will mark the start of its six-month presidency of the European Union by lighting up the Eiffel Tower in blue with yellow stars, recalling the EU flag, newspaper Le Parisien reported on Friday. [Source]
So you tell me, how does that look? It gets more ridiculous - check video below.
The Eiffel Tower puts on a bit of a light show every half hour, and casts a spot light until 9 P.M. or so. It’s an impressive sight for a brief look, but I can’t imagine anyone liking it who has to see it regularly.
