Making the rounds: It's easy to have amazing fireworks displays if you let the CGI guys take a crack at them:

London's Telegraph newspaper reports that some of the fireworks which appeared over Beijing during the television broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremony were actually computer generated. But -- hold on -- it's not necessarily as bad as you think.

NBC gets caught doing crap like this what, every three or four years or so? You'd think by now they'd know better. This being the M-est of the MSM, you'd of course be wrong.

Update: Looks like NBC didn't have a choice. My apologies.
