Yeah me too. Imagine how loud it was if you were actually there.

wow...amazing ceremony!

i liked those moving squares performance the most. i can only imagine how hard that was to do. the drums at the beginning were also cool. btw, that scroll on the ground, was that made out of LEDs or something of that sort? because that thing was wicked. i also thought the torch lighting was very original as well.

btw, those fireworks just made the air quality a lot worse lol.

Not possible.

I wonder how the Athletes themselves feel about the quality of the air that they have to compete under. Doubt many records will be broken because of the harsher conditions.

that was a wacky torch ceremony. very creative and gutsy to be hoisted like that and "run" around the stadium. no one knew what to expect

+1!

Amazing Ceremony! I only was able to watch the first part (up until the countries came out) and saw again when the lighting was happening and the guy 'ran' around the roof of the place to light the torch!

Hopefully I can watch this again later!

Anyway, who's ready for some Female Beach Volleyball?

Apparently there was controversy because the women's bathing suits were too revealing

I'm boycotting the games.

Fuck China.

Boycotting is for chicks.

Originally posted by Dr. DAS I didn't watch it, and I have no plans to watch any portion of the Olympics this year. It has nothing to do with the business of it, it's all about the site. China hosting the Olympics is a mockery to the spirit of the games. Their abhorrent human rights record, opressive regime and state-controlled media do nothing but tarnish what should be a celebration of global cooperation and sport. It seems unfair to support the games when there are so many people who can't watch it because they are hog-tied to an electrified bed frame. If China wants to torture and kill people for no other reason than political activism, the're not funding it with my money. Why didn't they just go out and hand it to Pyongyang and get it over with? As unfair as it might be to the atheletes, who train their entire lives for this, I don't believe that any socially responsible nation should have fielded a team. See you in 2012.

That's great, and I completely understand your reasoning, but its a little late to boycott now. The reason is because the people that are being affected by the boycott are the athletes and the hard workers of China who have been working their ass off for the past few years trying to put to Olympics together (The non-politically affiliated Chinamons )

Maybe the Olympics should have never been in China in the first place, but that's over and done with and nothing that can be controlled now.

It's all about supporting our athletes and standing by them while they try and prove that they are the best in world.

Even though I don't necessarily agree that China has the best policies in the world, i'm watching the Olympics to support my country.
If you don't want to support your country, then that's fine and maybe you don't have as much nationalistic pride as I do or others, but it's all about our athletes at this point.
