With 1.2 BILLION Chinese, not all of them are going to suck.

My favorite part so far was that thing with the blocks about Confucius.

8/8/2008 9:12:00 PM

they should have done the symbols for "man who walk through airport door sideways going to bangkok"

8/8/2008 9:12:56 PM

Whoever is doing the directing for NBC sucks though, I think.

8/8/2008 9:13:37 PM

^^^ that was really awesome

^ I could go without these commentators. It's nice to know what's going on, but those guys get on my nerves.

And what's the deal with the guy who looks like he just got off the subway singing next to the lady in a very nice, elegant dress?

8/8/2008 9:14:25 PM

this has got to be the most awsome ceremony in history of mankind

8/8/2008 9:15:06 PM

I really think it might be! It makes me sad that we didn't put on a great show when it was here.

8/8/2008 9:15:50 PM

^ that's because we dont have shit for traditions like china does

5000 years > 200 years

8/8/2008 9:16:19 PM

also if we tried to do the same thing here it would cost a trillion dollars
where as for example the 10,000 or so they used for that tai chi bit was like $25

As technology advances, the shows are going to be more impressive, naturally.

imagine what they would be able to do 20 years from now.

8/8/2008 9:18:23 PM

Why would you need to pay the people at all? I wouldn't be surprised if MANY of them would do it for free, and see it as an honor.

8/8/2008 9:18:28 PM

goddamn that turkish chick is hot

[Edited on August 8, 2008 at 9:23 PM. Reason : fuck most of them are hot]

8/8/2008 9:23:12 PM

^^^technology? are you kidding me? the best parts of this was just people doing things in coordination, it has nothing to do with tech

^^yeah, im sure that would true

on a side note i cant even remeber how the greece opening was, but to be fair this is so important to china they are really putting all they have into it

8/8/2008 9:23:59 PM

Ha, where is Bush sitting that he needs binoculars?

^^ the ceremony would be crap without all the cool light stuff backing it up.

^ This is FREE over the air with a paperclip plugged in to you TV on channel 17.

I'm watching it in 1080i HD, with 120Hz enhancement, for FREE with a busted antenna.

Really? because I always think the ceremony is the most boring part. Show me some archery or shooting or shot put.
