LOL...I still think the substitute is cuter and prettier.

But I see that as a different topic. The real topic is that it is jacked up that they did that and their explanation for it is jacked up.

Is this substitution any more messed up that what the opening ceremonies have become generally?

I also heard on MSNBC that the Chinese have admitted that the opening ceremonies were "digitally enhanced". China obviously saw a great need for "perfection" during this years olympics.

The Chinese used fake fireworks too:

According to The Beijing Times what people inside the stadium and watching on television saw were computer graphics of the footprints inserted into coverage.

Gao Xiaolong, the head of the opening ceremony visual effects team, said it had taken almost a year to create the 55-second sequence.

Actual fireworks could be seen outside the stadium but it was logistically impossible to film them by helicopter, so the decision was made to recreate the effect digitally.
