That's so typcial of them. Don't get me wrong they have the ability to do something like that but why would they blame it on Safety issues.

If it legitimately was for safety reasons, then who cares. I dont see the big problem with it.

The only faked ones were the stadium. Even without the fireworks that was the best 4 hours if tv i have ever seen. No one will ever be able to reproduce that - 2008 people all doing taekwon do in perect circles in harmony with no marking at all- simply blew my fucking mind. They had 15000 performers- no country on earth could ever match that-

what difference does it make that it was faked. their job was to put on a show and they put on an incredible show using all the resources they had available

That's pretty lame. They may as well have had a real looking Pickachu and Charmander battling on the screen.

Bummer. I was pretty convinced that China is the place to go for epic parties. Now it's just the place to watch CG parties on TV.
