Computer enhanced fireworks, sure in a videao game, but why in reality? It still looked amazing. What is the point? And replacing the little girl was a crappy thing to do...the one who actually did the singing was just as cute.
While so many are raving about the openness of China and how amazing everything at the Olympics is, I believe that this is what the Chinese govt. wants the world to see. I have friends who spent 3 weeks in China last year and they said it was nothing like what we are all seeing on TV. |
I could believe that those girls were 16. But then, I lived in a dorm with 200+ Chinese, and not one of them looked their age. My roommate was 22, and she didn't look a day over 16.
They put in computer fireworks because it was too dangerous to show the fireworks live. The fireworks they "enhanced" were not the ones in the Stadium, they were the ones that were outside. If they had shown the fireworks live, they could have had a really big electrical problem.
The fireworks DID go off in Beijing. My friend was studying in Hong Kong for the summer & went to Beijing the last few days she was there (she came back the 9th of August, so i'm not quite sure how much Olympic stuff she saw) but she said it was EXACTLY like what we saw on TV. And that China is gorgeous!!
