From the BBC:
A South Korean television station has broadcast a secret dress rehearsal for the opening of Beijing Olympics, irking the Chinese organisers of the Games.
Apparently the Koreans just wandered in and began filming without anyone stopping them. The video is pretty spectacular. Though there are only a few second worth of snippets, the video is sufficient indication: this might be one of the greatest choreographed spectacles ever. So coordinated are the moves, so precise the choreography that you almost think the whole thing is being run under the iron fist of an authoritarian state.
Not only do we have this little news for you but also the rare to link to the video itself: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e2e_1217434995 (Hard hitting journalism!)
Hope you enjoy the show. It will keep you occupied till we finally get to see the MP bribery scandal videos.
As for the poor stadium security people I only have to quote from the work of the remarkable stand-up comedian Russel Peter: "Somebody gonna get hurt real bad..."
Flash update: Somebody got hurt! That Liveleak link no longer works. But are we the type to go down without a fight? NO! So here is another link of the video: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article4435773.ece
Who the man? (Ideal answer: You Sidin!)
