Bruno Makes Plea for Reason on Dancing With the Stars

Sometimes a huge talent is just a huge talent

The season kick-off of Dancing With the Stars not only continued to push the ever-expanding definition of stars (Buzz Aldrin? What, was Neil Armstrong booked?), it also proved that, sadly, people still don't take judge Bruno Tonioli seriously.

So the man reacts to well-built, handsome athlete Chad Ochocinco's sensuous dance routine by repeating the word "huge" and gesturing with his hands as if he was measuring something—a large sausage, say—to describe his talent. Completely innocent.

Yet the next thing you know, Carrie Ann Inaba is leading the audience in a giggle fest worthy of a gaggle of schoolgirls.

Why is anybody's guess. And we are as stunned as Bruno.
