[Norml]

The art from the culture is so good.

 

[delirium]

The Chinese went all the fuck out for this

[Incognito]

[Shiggie]

Megaton!

 

[Timan]

How the.... did they do that.

 

[Keylime]

IT'S PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

PEEEEEEEEEOPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mYm|17|]

OK, they did that with PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

 

[delirium]

WTF. PEOPLE?!?!

 

[guess]

didn't expect people in the boxes

 

[Laguna X]

That was crazy!

 

[acksman]

Soylent Green!

 

[mre]

Wow. Just, wow. Amazing.

 

[giga]

shit just got real

 

[Sax Russel]

This is all pretty jaw dropping =O

 

[delirium]

Why does it seem NBC is skipping stuff.

 

[Milabrega]

It was fucking awesome but, wait, you guys didn't think it was people the whole time? :lol

 

[Matrix]

That was f-ing awesome

 

[MIMIC]

When they panned underneath the boxes, I could see people under them. Incredibly impressive. China is goin all out :lol

Didn't the announcer say that this ceremony cost $300 million? They're putting every single cent to work.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I feel sorry for whoever has to match this shit in 2012. Epic fail and I'm calling it now.

 

[PhoenixDark]

That was almost as impressive as freedom

kudos China

 

[Incognito]

i thought i spotted some feet underneath those boxes; still, nice to see it was all people. pretty damn cool. quite the technical feat.

 

[acksman]

This is all pretty jaw dropping =O

And a bit scary, just try to get this done in just about any other country. The beast has awoken.

 

[calder]

I feel sorry for whoever has to match this shit in 2012. Epic fail and I'm calling it now.

Absolutely. Here we were talking about how it's so much better than most since the art they have to use is so striking. Way better than the normal abstract/modernist nonsense most ceremonies use.

 

[Incognito]

wow...this is awesome. sucks i'm in the hospital and can't watch in HD. looks absolutely beautiful.

 

[giga]

[MIMIC]

I don't think I can take much more of this HD amazingness :lol

 

[besada]

I assumed it was people. China has shitloads of people. I figured the show would involve several sets of masses of people all doing the same thing. I didn't figure it would be so fucking gorgeous.

That screen. It calls to me.

 

[StoOgE]

hey, that giant LED screen use to be where peoples homes were that are now in jail b/c they complained their homes were demolished.

and look, women who werent murdered as babies b/c you can only have 1 kid, and mommy and daddy wanted a son.

 

[TDG]

Jesus, this is amazing. That screen is incredible.

I knew the boxes had people in them, but it's still incredible to think that people did that.

 

[joesmokey]

Okay these commentators just need to stop talking period. I can't take Bob Costas and Matt Lauer anymore.

 

[StoOgE]

Okay these commentators just need to stop talking period. I can't take Bob Costas and Matt Lauer anymore.

yeah, nothing like sucking off a represive dictatorship bc of pretty lights.

 

[Hootie]

MY EYES ARE HAVING AN ORGASM OH SHIIIIIIIII--

 

[Judderman]

While you were away watching commercials, China has advance a few hundred years.

No. I wasn't fucking away. I was here waiting for you to go back to the ceremony.

 

[TDG]

Ooh, how are they going to represent the Tiananmen Square Massacre? I can't wait to see it.

And I can't wait to hear what NBC's announcers have to say about it.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Ooh, how are they going to represent the Tiananmen Square Massacre? I can't wait to see it.

The tanks are people!

 

[StoOgE]

Ooh, how are they going to represent the Tiananmen Square Massacre? I can't wait to see it.

well, they skipped tibet, mau and the uighurs

 

[MIMIC]

Is NBC really cutting out DURING the opening performances?

Seriously??

 

[Hootie]

What the hell NBC. What's with these commercials...

 

[Ripclawe]

My Toshiba Regza is screaming THIS IS WHAT I WAS MADE TO SHOW!!!!:lol

Thank you China for using traditional art to showcase and none of that modern crap like other openings.

 

[joesmokey]

yeah, nothing like sucking off a represive dictatorship bc of pretty lights.

I just want to watch the ceremony. I don't need to hear Bob Costas joking about Big Macs.

 

[delirium]

God damn NBC, you suck with the commercials. SUCK.

 

[Incognito]

[Cloudy]
