Interesting read. Thank you for sharing it. It was still one of the most amazing shows ever even with this news note.

Yeah, I thought it was weird...I understand why they did it, since I have sat in the director's role before and everything has to look perfect, but it is still kinda crazy that it can look that real.

It was darned fine work to be sure. People are still buzzing about the opening and decades from now it will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the best ever.

It does tarnish it a little for me. I, like Limnos, was amazed at the opening ceremony.

I'm disappointed that the girl with the talent is being discarded while the girl with the cuteness is giving interviews.

Hate to sound like a Commie hater, but why does any deception China practices surprise anyone?

They really put on a hot show. Very entertaining.

They actually commented on the computer animation of the fireworks during the ceremony. They did NOT, however, comment on the lip synching.

Must have had a woman c****ographer. They're really good at faking it.

As I've already stated, I thought that was the most amazing opening ceremony I have ever seen. Although this information is disappointing, it doesn't really surprise me.

And, although it tarnishes my impression and even with this information, it still was still the most impressive opening ceremony I've seen.
