Holy crap!

Who saw the opening ceremonies for the Olympics!? I watched it in Hi-Def at Dummy's house and I almost lost my shit. That was a borderline life-changing display of never-to-be-equaled choreography, technology and imagination. I can't even fathom the amount of money and effort that went into it. 12,500 participants I think, none of them used twice. ( Read more... )

That was pretty awesome. That's by far the best opening ceremony I've seen. OCD at it's finest : )

YouTube shoots down every attempt to post within minutes. It's out there, though.

NBCOlympics.com has copyright on most Olympic coverage, if you can install Silverlight on my guest account, I'd be able to see the videos they have posted :)

NBCOlympics.com has a download for Silverlight ;)

As rad as it was, don't count out the Chinese Gov't when it comes to fucking things up!

Basically, they swapped out that girl who was singing, and had a "cuter" one on stage lip-syncing. Oh and the awesome fireworks? Some of them were CG.

Meh. Small potatoes compared to the women's gymnastics scandal...
