Olympic Fireworks Faked For TV

Question

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/skynews/20080811/twl-olympic-fireworks-faked-for-tv-3fd0ae9.html

Which begs the question.

If the world fell for this 'illusion', what else do we see on the T.V which is not for real? What about the news reports we watch? Dare I mention 9/11.

Answer 1

well with the fireworks spectators there could just say i missed that one but with 911 there were thousands of eye witnesses and nothing has been leaked out

Answer 2

You are actually also fiction.  You and everything you see and feel where made up in a lab.  The electronic feeds to your brain, which is the only real part of you, provide all your experiences.  Nothing is real.  Isn't it amazing what science can do.

Answer 3

I want my money back and I'll never watch a opening ceremony from China again.

Answer 4

I thought at the time that it looked a bit like CGI - and I'm sure most of the TV companies picking up the link would have know what was going on. I don't see the harm when it is just a money saving exercise but I agree it does beg the question - can you believe everything you are presented with on TV? The moon landings would be a prime example!

Answer 5

How sure can we be that what we see is fact and not fiction? And God didn't make the little green apples, and it don't rain in indianapolis in the summer time.

And there's no such thing as Dr. Seuss or Disneyland and mother goose, no nursery rhymes.

Answer 6

They are canny - we need to keep that idea in the cupboard for the UK Olympics!!!! LOL................................

As for 9/11 I think all the grieving relatives and people running down the streets for their lives point out how real it was.

Answer 7

PUT YOUR DRUGS AWAY    PLEASE!!!!!

Answer 8

Anything is possible, the Chinese are masters of duplicity !

Answer 9

Nothing is real. It's all sensations. That includes you, me, this computer, etc. All illusion, samsara, surd.

Answer 10

Apparently, they did actually have footprint fireworks, but because it was too dangerous to film, they showed fake ones on tv. I don't know if that's just a cover story though. I thought the opening ceremony was good though

Answer 11

if only the chinese olympics were a figment of our imagination...........

we aren't really publicly backing a stifling & un-democratic regime by pandering to those in charge in china, Are we?

AND 9/11 ( not sure there's much of a similarity between a faked fireworks display, compared to political Murder )

But I suppose if I try hard, I can see what you're trying to say.

9/11 HAPPENED & was a means to an end.

It was Allowed to happen ( same as pearl harbour was allowed to happen ) to get everybody on-side with the US.

You're Either With Us Or Against Us....

wasn't that what GW said?

the World had no choice than NOT question the truth behind 9/11.

Answer 12

the whole of the beijing games has a false front. . 3 million homeless are hidden away. beggars are hidden away. cars are removed from the streets to try to clean the filthy air.  and they are seriously struggling to hide the returning algae  for the yachting etc .

everything we do in our 2012 opening will be real. we dont need to fake anything to make a good impression

Answer 13

I knew someone would say what your saying when I heard this on the radio a few minutes ago. I knew it someone would come up with 911 been faked.  Why not come up with all them conspiracy video's been faked. A lot easier to add what looks like a pod to a plane than to take it off. Strange how must of the video's I have seen of the planes do not have them pods they mention in these conspiracy video's.  

Answer 14

How ironic that you post this question over the internet, the media most often used to spread fake videos, fake news reels, fake stories, urban legends, rumors and anything else that can be falsified.  

Answer 15

because the olympics tv came from one china supplied news feed, 9/11 was filmed independantly by many different sources

Answer 16

What about Baghdad and the shock and awe campaign?  

Alot of stuff on Youtube is camera trickery, too.  It is the media's responsibility to report only genuine news.  Anything else is out and out fraud.

I doubt September 11 was an illusion, though.  Not giving you any heat about that though.  Hasn't been the first time I heard this one!

Answer 17

It's an explosive topic i'll give you that.

Answer 18

I was sorry to hear the footsteps were fake. It appeared pretty impressive. But I find the fact that it was fake AND that the secret was outed so quickly to reinforce what I have always felt about conspiracy theories... such as 9/11. 10 people can't keep a secret, let alone 100s and 1000s. It just goes against human nature to keep silent about something... let alone something so big.

Answer 19

It used to be that I didn't believe anything until I had seen it with my own eyes but this just proves that we can't even trust what we see.

Answer 20

Yep, and Elvis is still alive, so is bigfoot, UFOs landed in Roswell and we never went to the moon. Right?

Answer 21

They're Crackers.
