So about those Olympic opening ceremonies everyone has been talking about since Friday: Sorry to disappoint you but they were, like, totally fake. Okay, not all of it. Some of the fireworks were real. But some of them were filmed earlier in the day and other clips were digitally placed into the broadcast, and still others some were completely computer generated. Oh, and that super-cute little girl who sang Ode to the Motherland? She was actually just lip-synching, since Chinese officials decided the actual 7-year-old singer who had been slated to perform wasn't quite cute enough for prime time. Video of the events in question after the jump.
