    BTW, what is the whole purpose of putting on a slow show at the end of the games? this closing ceremony sucks.

    We know you hate China, but this show is for the world not just you. There are plenty of people who like the show. If you hate it so much, why are you watching?

    Did anyone else see the guy who won the gold at badminton throw his racket and both of his shoes into the crowd? That was priceless.

    an autocratic, belligerent bunch of cheaters though they may be, you gotta give the chinese credit, between the music and the performers, they know how to put on a ****ing show.

    london is crying out "no mas" right about now. this is like titanic's box office record, no one is even going to come close for a while.

    anyone know the song they've been playing during this whole "memory tower" thing? or is it original for the olympics.

    I'm enjoying the theatrics of the closing ceremonies more than I did those of the opening ceremonies.

    Zhang Yimou is a freakin genius. The NFL should hire him to do the next Superbowl halftime show.
