Olympics-Live T.V. Fakery!

[JEROME DA GNOME]

And they have a crew of Lloyd Bridges' sons to go under the water and paint those flags onto the lane bottoms at the end of the swim races, too. And they work so fast, you never even get a glimpse at 'em.

I remember the first time I saw a rugby game after they started painting big adverts on the field. I thought it was CGI, 'cuz the ads are angled to fit the camera movement from the midfield position, obviously for the TV viewer. About twenty minutes into the game I remember thinking how crappy it was that they only had one ad and didn't change it through the whole game. I figured they either had a rich sponsor who demanded exclusivity or had trouble drawing sponsors. And then some guy gets tackled and gets up with half the logo on his jersey.

Why would they CGI his jersey?

My thoughts, exactly! I'll up your smiley to two pirate spiders.

That and the (allegedly) fake birth dates on the passports of China's female gymnasts.

Age of Chinese gymnast under scrutiny

Apparent conflict raises question about girl who won gold

Posted Thursday, August 14, 2008 6:28 AM ET

BEIJING (AP) - Just nine months before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government's news agency, Xinhua, reported that gymnast He Kexin was 13, which would have made her ineligible to be on the team that won a gold medal this week.

In its report Nov. 3, Xinhua identified He as one of "10 big new stars" who made a splash at China's Cities Games. It gave her age as 13 and reported that she beat Yang Yilin on the uneven bars at those games. In the final, "this little girl" pulled off a difficult release move on the bars known as the Li Na, named for another Chinese gymnast, Xinhua said in the report, which appeared on one of its Web sites, www.hb.xinhuanet.com

The Associated Press found the Xinhua report on the site Thursday morning and saved a copy of the page. Later that afternoon, the Web site was still working but the page was no longer accessible. Sports editors at the state-run news agency would not comment for publication.

And did you hear about the missing teeth ... baby teeth?

To my point.

The reality will be different than that which history records, Right before your eyes!!!

Kinda depends on who writes the history, doesn't it? If we're talking about it here, it's pretty clearly common knowledge.

Who will be recorded as the Gold medal winners in female team gymnastics?

I rest my case.

 

[JEROME DA GNOME]

What I find strange is that I had assumed that was a pre-generated sequence, I would have been surprised to learn it was live!

Well done.

This is an example of how predictive programing works.

There's more to history than the medals, especially if enough other records and accounts contend that the Chinese cheated.

You don't need to rest your case. It never woke up.

I rest my case.

In order to rest your case, you would have to make one in the first place. Rhetorical questions, your standard operating procedure, do not count as a case.

I'll agree with Darat and ask you to actually say what you mean rather than just asking questions. I for one have no idea who will be recorded as the Gold medal winners in female team gymnastics, or why that question is interesting or relevant. I have no idea how the answer to that question, whatever it may be, makes your case so conclusively that it can now 'rest'.

Would it hurt you to post a full paragraph now and again? Who will be recorded as the Gold medal winners in female team gymnastics, and why is the answer to that question worth talking about?

And since your thread(case) is about CGI fakery, I guess you can somehow tie this into that?
Were the gymnasts not there? Sure looked real to me.
The uneven bars were really even, but they just shot at an angle so that you and Ace Baker would be able to discover it later and expose it to the world?
Oooh, I know. The pommel horse? Neither a pommel nor a horse; discuss.

That's the great thing about responding to trollistic medicine... You can post whatever you like in response. (No kittens were harmed in the making of this recipe.)

I think his point is that questions have been raised about whether the Chinese Women Gymnasts are really over 16 or not.

Yes- but the point others are making is that IF that is indeed his point, he needs to be making it rather than doing the troofer thing of "just askin' questions.

The difference is that they are saying that, not just asking questions about it.
