Beijing is still filled with pollution. Luckily, the opening ceremonies for the Olympics take place at night. Therefore we can see some amazing images like above.
It seems like nothing can derail the Olympics for China. Human rights protesters have thus far done zilch. Overbearing pollution has not altered a thing. Even French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who at first thought about boycotting, has decided to attend.
The only thing that has really put a damper on the opening ceremonies? A sex scandal.
It figures. Right? Originally Gillan Chung, was supposed to perform along with Celine Dion and Jay Chou. However, in light of her naked pictures showing up on the internet, she has been replaced by a Chinese Pop group, A-one.
If you've been looking for the leaked video of the Opening Ceremonies, here it is. Just don't ask me what the reporters are saying. Watch it before it gets taken down, China is quite upset at the Korean reporters who did this.
