So its fake...who cares. Olympic games, where everyone pretends for two weeks to care for their fellow man and not have international hate. Its sports, a business like any other.
The winners will have a better financial future and desire crushing their opponents.
No one is there for the so called love of the game. Thats a foolish unrealistic notion...like the easter bunny. They switched girls, they faked fireworks, surprise surprise..it is entertainment.
EVERY government creates propaganda for its foolish citizens to believe. No one is the bad guy ever, no govt ever "wants" to go to war, every government cares for its people. No country has crime, no country has homeless or poor, right? Grow up people, This fantasy utopia doesnt exist....never did.

I agree with John Pomfret's take on this: totally befuddling how this decision was made, apparently at the Standing Committee of the Poliburo.

So, whats the big deal? They wanted it to be flawless. And thats what they did. It's just an over hyped issue, of an issue which is not even an issue.

The girl who provided the "voice" is a darling and talented little girl! I personally find it disgusting that member of the Olympic Committee found it necessary to put on a "perfect'" show to the extent that they denied a little girl the opportunity to perform in front of the world based on her TALENT! Something she practiced, rehearsed and trained for! The lip syncing girl fit "the mold". Yeah...she was born that way. Crazy world. Anyone remember Meatloaf? Sweaty singer....great talent....What about the Rolling Stones? Ugly! Amazing performers....I have already been disgusted by the Olympics (I live in Utah. Enough said) This is ridiculous! I guess this is China after all.

Many journalists posting these "facts" are merely trying to debase the Beijing Olympics to help the image of the London Olympics. Just look at the original source of this story, the London Telegraph.
It is not secret that the footprints shown to television viewers were cgi, the NBC announcers themselves stated this. In fact they even said that it took a year for them to compile all the images. The reason for this is that it is simply too dangerous for a helicopter to follow fireworks exploding in the sky. The actual fireworks did occur though. In fact there are youtube videos showcasing the event from the ground.

Holy crap why is this making the rounds on the blogosphere?

The aim of the opening ceremony was to produce a spectacular show - and they succeeded.

On a side note, yes the fireworks were faked but a number of articles fail to mention that this was no high level secret. NBC even mentioned it during the broadcast.

China knows how to put on a show at all cost! China is a mystical artist that plays to the world stage!

When you travel China do not be surprised to find 200 year old teak houses right under a super highway! Very little traditional authenticity is left in China it is selling itself for capitalism to the highest bidders!
