    Well I'm not sure what that guy was watching, but the network feed I watched from NBC said as much during the actual braodcast....no surprise really.

        What's the big deal about fake fireworks? I didn't see the show but I don't get why this is such a big deal.

          Don't worry too much about it. Just do all you can do and let the rough end drag.

            No one should watch or care for these game because they are being played in Beijing. It's just not worth it.

            Kinda reminds me of a bunch of American crybabies who wanted the Soviets to not boycott our 1984 games in L.A.

            Stupid. :roll:

                Simulated would have been a better word. And it's my understanding that this was done for safety reasons (it was determined that it was too dangerous for live filming from helicopters). Those who were there to see it live, did so. Everyone else saw a simulation. Either way, it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the opening ceremony. Special effects for most movies are simulated these days, but that doesn't seem to put a damper on the attraction for viewers.

                  I remember hearing the same...

                  Was still a great show.

                    Little girl singing "Ode to the Motherland" lip synched it because real singer was said to have failed the cuteness test

                        So the fireworks were fake, the singing was fake, but I'm supposed to believe the gymnasts' passports are 100% legit and it was merely all the other records of their ages that were mistaken?

                          I'm doubting the ages too. I won't be surprised if some medals are forfeited down the road.
