Beijing Olympics Giant Footprints "Faked" - In an interesting bit of news, Chinese bloggers are calling foul for the faked passage of giant firework footprints that was used to start the fantastic and amazing opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics.

I don't know about the rest of the world but NBC in the US did say they where CGI so no attempt to mislead stateside.
