so?

It was no secret. Costas announced as much as it was happening.

First it was chicks with dicks, then imitation chicken tofu and now fake fireworks. When will the Chinese stop the horrors!

So what? This is a story in the news? Georgia is being overrun by Russia for Chris'sake and all the news can obsess about is this? Wait...I feel a Paris Hilton Story coming along that will totally overshadow the footprint story!

If it looked good so what. As long as everyone enjoyed the show is all that counts.

Where's Tosser? Wasn't he telling us how the opening ceremonies were a symbol of Chinese power and how the Americans are a bunch of liars and fakers?

he bush faked intel to start a war

this is small potatoes by comparison

Prove he faked intel.

so what. America does the same stuff.

Let's focus more on Russia taking over a Democratic state. This has never happened before in history where two democracies are fighting.

Makes me thing Russia is NOT democratic. This is serious.

Worst deflection, probably ever:

Wow Troofy, see a doctor, your Bush Derangement Syndrome meds are waaaay off.

We are beginning to look like the "ugly american" again, trying hard to find fault.

Despite this nitpicking, I think the chinese put on a damn good opening ceremony. Some of the eye-catching performances even came thru via tv.

Job well done, enough said.

'We are beginning to look like the "ugly american" again, trying hard to find fault.'

Yes we should apologize for wondering how they did that and then figuring out that they didn't.

Intellectual curiousity = Bad. Where Americans are concerned anyway.....

Can't we just enjoy what so far has been a great Olympics and leave politics out of it?
Especially when it's the USA winning all the gold. Yeah!

Also, I hear that the airborne lighter of the olympic flame? They did that with wires. He wasn't even really flying! Why, those inscrutable bastards...

"Especially when it's the USA winning all the gold. Yeah!"

I hate to tell you this CC, but the last medal count I saw has us with 3 golds and China with 9.

Badminton? Seriously? That's a fucking Olympic sport?

How about Jarts?

Especially when it's the USA winning all the gold. Yeah!

China has the gold medal lead as well as the overall medal lead, according to MSNBC.

China 9 gold, 14 overall
USA 3 gold, 12 overall

The flu is evident in this one.

They should break up the medal counts between judged "events" and actual sports.

i knew this pakistani kid that used to play badminton

so gay

Badminton is only gay if you play sober. Same with croquet.

"Badminton is only gay if you play sober."

Chairbitch just because you play badminton like a little fag doesn't mean it's supposed to be played that way.

Prove he faked intel.

My favorite drunk sport is Lawn Bocce. Basically Bocce without a court or much skill. The player throwing the little target ball can huck it anywhere in the yard. All obstacles are in play. Sometimes the winning shot is like 8 feet or more from the target, depending on drunkeness levels and the difficulty of the "playing field".

My favorite drunk sport is driving.

Which one fits you truthless?

That was pretty good Moneywar, though I'm surprised you even typed it coherently.

Joe,

Just a little humor thrown your way.

I don't frequent this sight much anymore, too many stupid idiotic right throwin garbage anymore.

You and a couple of others where nice to cross words with but now it has become just garbage, nothing of thought in content.

So?

Algore "faked" the avalanche scenes and twisted the facts in his propaganda film that won him the Nobel.

Which libs on DR are bitching about that?

The goracle has pronounced the AGW debate as being "over".

Which libs on DR have fallen lock-step into that mode of "free-speech"?

Just curious.

yeah but if it ever comes down to stylized fighting with lightweight fake sabers you know we can just put the chicks on the front line and sit back in perfect safety!

Oh and heck we can all just jump in the water and ride on the back of Phelps to saftey.

uummm... Weapons of mass destruction? That was a good one. Niger yellowcake? Centrifuge tubes?

Actually, the centrifuge tubes were my favorite. And my favorite analysis of the tubes went something like: Tubes? For centrifuges? Let em us them, they won't work.

Ah, memory lane...

does anyone seriously believe that this magnificent show was not staged? Like those footsteps were real or made to fool us into believing they were real? Get a life! (except for right whiners complaining about libs on this story)

China won men's team gymnastics... Japan bronze.. USA silver

" Japan bronze.. USA silver"

Backwards.

Oop... that's right... USA Bronze..

Where's Tosser? Wasn't he telling us how the opening ceremonies were a symbol of Chinese power and how the Americans are a bunch of liars and fakers?

I meant the fact that China is hosting the Olympics is a sign that they have arrived at the party and aren't going to leave. I wasn't talking only about the opening ceremony.

The fact that they faked that little segment so well is a symbol of their superior computer skillz. So there. LOL

The fireworks were for real and they worked right. They only faked it in case they failed to work (which they did) and because you couldn't get those dramatic shots without putting the chopper pilot at risk.

So there was actually no faking. You can compare it to like when they put false color in satellite imagery to make things more clear.

in case they failed to work (which they did)

I meant the footprint fireworks worked for real as well. Just couldn't get a chopper up there to get the pics they wanted from the angle they wanted.

" I wasn't talking only about the opening ceremony."

Except when you asked if I saw the opening ceremony when you were trying to tell me how great China is. Other than that, you're not lying at all.

Except when you asked if I saw the opening ceremony when you were trying to tell me how great China is.

Yes dummy. The opening ceremony is part of the Olympics last time I checked. Duh.

The little girl lip synched somebody else's song too.

The real singer had buck teeth so they kicked her out at the last minute.

Tlickely at it's finest.

Quibbles... mere quibbles.

Yes mere quibbles and the soldiers taking the flag from the children and goosesteping up to the flag pole was not at all bone chilling either.

Actualy aparently I was the only one who noticed it since I have yet to hear a single comment about it from anyone.

I definitely noticed that too, Tao. The image was jarring.

"Would you tell me, please," said Alice, a little timidly, "why you are painting those roses?"

Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began, in a low voice, "Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose tree, and we put a white one in by mistake..."

and the soldiers taking the flag from the children and goosesteping up to the flag pole was not at all bone chilling either.

Yes, I saw that and it didn't even register until you just mentioned it.

I got a torrent of the whole thing and just saw it again... No, I don't see anything wrong with that.

I don't get it. Why did you think it odd?
