The footprint-shaped fireworks running south to north over Beijing were actually done digitally in 3-D computer graphics?
The starlet’s voice was dubbed by another 7 year old girl, she is only lip-syncing?
I hate fake!

These are really bad news.
I feel very very sorry about such things. Hope they will not happen again in the future.

The way you’ve presented the map is very helpful and useful. I wonder if you can look through the Olympics in Google street view. Apparently the security is so high there are very few people around; I guess you’d get a good view with no one in the way.

Yeah, the security is so high.
I was also told there is 570 meters prepense error in this Google map, In case of using by terrorists.
