Official 2008 Olympic thread

I bet many of the things will be up for auction later.

 

nice **** so far... cut out the commercials nbc

 

I bet these company pay huge amount for the spot, NBC is making a killing this event.

 

That Lipstick Jungle commercial makes me want to barf..

 

the big orgy is about to start.

 

This might be D & D fodder but I wonder how much of the $40 Billion the PRC spent on the Olympics came from hard currency from trade with the US? I wouldn't be surpised if the US actually paid quite a bit into this Olympics.

 

China spent 40+ billion on this and I don't really doubt it -- to call this a spectacle is an understatement. Will there be more performances after the athletes mingle or is this it ?

 

I was thinking a few years back of moving to some small country so I could become their Olympian.

 

It is not like the US gave these money to China for free. It is called trade.

 

i think this is probably it. there will be some smaller shows maybe. shifts to London. Jimmy and Leona going to be on.

 

consider that millions of Chinese worked for nothing in the last couple of years due to US lowering dollar value, i think it's only fair. seriously, poor Chinese worked for nothing over night.

 

gees, forbidden kingdom is such a horrible film. why would they even do commercial for it.

 

Oh come on it is not that bad.

 

hamming it up for the camera knows no national boundaries. everyone goes crazy when the NBC camera comes by.

 

Was there just some dude flashing gang signs?

 

is it NBC camera? i thought there is only one crew. then they share the film.

 

there is the Lauren Jackson moment.

 

Yao hugging Loren Jackson.

 

one man's gang sign is another man's peace sign.

 

LOL just saw it. I think I saw Nia Long too!
