Does anyone else find the ceremonial first move really annoying?

When they get some celeb to carry out the first move in a chess game for the players. Seems like a completely pointless thing to do and it can only distract the players who presumably want to focus on the match. Get rid.

At the very least, they should get someone more interesting than a political hack to do it... say, a trained octopus!
