Title: Milli Vanilli Olympic style
Post by: soda72 on August 12, 2008, 07:25:36 AM
China Olympic ceremony star mimed (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7556058.stm)

Would anyone really have cared if some ugly kid actually did the singing?  Some how I don't think so...

This is the second "fake" story about the opening ceremony

Fake fireworks, fake kid.
Next thing someone will say is all of the hospitality and goodwill is also fake.
You would think by all of this that a commie ran country might be into propaganda . Who`d of thunk it?

Ya they should have found a cute girl that could sing straight away instead. But tbh no country would let a uggly child sing at the olympics.

Just look at the music industry today, you think its a coincidence that only 10/10 looking female singers "make" it?

Big shame when the original intent of pure athletic competition is overshadowed by garbage.

Pete Townsend of The Who said sarcastically in an interview a few years ago that if he and the band were trying to get started today, instead of in the 60's, that they'd never have a chance. Because they're too ugly.

I remember watching the Olympics back in the 70's when all we heard about was the "Medal Race" between the US and the Soviets. Got sick of it real quick. Found myself cheering for unknown guys from smaller countries who didn't have big state-sponsored machines backing them up. Americans used to complain biterly about how the Russians, Chinese, and East Germans used to fund their "amateurs". :rolleyes:  So what do we do? We start doing the same friggin thing. Because it's all about the medals. Classic example: We got tired of losing to Russian "amateur" basketball players, so what's our answer? We send the damn NBA.

She's a psychotic crackhead with a great voice, married to another crackhead.






but back to the Olympics... the funniest thing of the games so far...
The opening ceremony suffers from the Blue Screen of Death.
At least the guy didn't crash with it.

I'm glad you find it amusing. The comptuer tech in charge of that screen was executed for bringing disgrace upon Mao.

Maniac can tap all he wants, but leave me out of it. Besides, I'm guessing that nasty thing is cross-threaded already. :uhoh

The footprint fireworks that led towards the stadium during the opening were fired in real life, but the image that was actually show to the world was pure CGI, and was worked on for about a year.

All the money they spent on the show gave us...

* A stadium that only looks good for a distance.
* Faked helicopter cam fly-by footage.
* A few guys goosestepping in with their flag.
* A cute 9 y/o sent out to mime for a 7 y/o that won a national competition to do it, but was deemed too ugly at the last second.
* A blue screen during the torch lighting.
