原本想看看国外民间是怎样评价08奥运会的开幕式，结果看到这篇网文及其跟贴，很有意思。好像没有敏感内容，嗯，其实恰恰相反。如果不合适，请删。

POMFRET'S CHINA
Olympic Opening Ceremony....The One America Missed
So I caught some of the Olympics opening ceremony on a Ukrainian website. It was pretty amazing. But I would have liked to have watched the whole thing live and not felt like a hacker while I was doing it. Sorry. NBC wasn't showing it. More important stuff to report. Maybe something on Britney or whatever.
I'll wait until this evening to check it out -- undoubtedly a highly-edited version.
It's pretty irritating, though, to be forced to miss the show. I mean the ceremony "was predicted to be the most watched television event in history, with 2.3 billion viewers tuning in live," the Post reported. Why wasn't it shown live? Only NBC knows for sure.
But, to me, it's indicative of something -- and that's not just that "money makes the world go round." It bespeaks of an insularity in this country. I've noticed this in Olympics past. I was in China for the Games in Athens. The coverage by China's Central Television was stellar -- a lot of events, not all of them dominated by China, of all sports, even obscure ones and not just ones Chinese are good at. Same held true for the Sydney Games which also found me in Beijing.
I know from friends that that's never been the case here. Don't expect broad and deep coverage from the American networks. It's pretty much going to be "all the way with USA...." Who's acting like a superpower now?
以下是部分网友跟贴：
AB:
The 3-hour telecast tonight will no doubt contain about 60 minutes of commercials, keeping American viewers from enjoying the breathtakingly spectacular ceremony in all its glory. Soda, pizza, gas-guzzlers (30 mpg - yay!) and the latest drug that gives you 720-hour erections are so much more important.
Whether you like it or not, America's dumbing down has a lot to do with what the media feeds us. Reminds me of the saying "the less a people know, the less they want to know."
Now let the whining begin (but, but...we aren't a nation of whiners...waaaahhh)
Marc L.:
I am Canadian and the coverage was shown live on Canadian television. We don't only think about money; we care about what the olympics are really about, clean world class competition. The spokesman for NBC has admitted the decision not to show live coverage was a business decision in an attempt to make more money. During times like this, I am proud to be Canadian.
Anonymous:
holy crap!
Chinese spent all their money!
They really like Olympics, not like US hosted cheaply:) And only care about USA, USA, USA....
but the rest of world just been cut for commercial!
Human Rice! Freedom of Information! Poor American people, under a selfish idiotic government.
Have you guys seen how Chinese welcomed US Athletes?
Kobe? Japanese Athletes? and Taiwan?
The Fact speaks for Chinese, but American people only get to watch partial facts that is delivered by US government thru an limited edited broadcast just like the Olympics. Sigh!
Peter F in SF:
Neither I nor any of my friends are paying any attention at all to these games. I am totally uninterested in anything about China. Been there, done that and never want to do it again. Horrible! It's a damn shame that they got the games.
Xog:
I've been annoyed at the way the networks cover the Olympics for years. Who in the world wants to watch taped and edited sports? I'll gladly stay up and watch underwater basket weaving at 3am, if they would just show it LIVE!
With so many channels they can use, there is no excuse to avoid showing the events live. They can still show their edited crap in prime time for the people who don't know they are being fed what the networks want them to see.
Cathy:
it's so true that I felt I am behind everyone else in the world just because the dominating TV network does not believe to live at the moment in the history.
Those executives of the network think they are so smart that they can manipulate everything by the media power. WRONG! I just can't wait until we have HD internet. That will be AWESOME! We then do not need to be controlled by any dominating media. We will be live where ever, whenever we want. Sometimes people in power are just so short-sighted.
Oh, also, what's up with only showing the events that US Team can win? Where's the true Olympian spirit? I want to see ping-pong and other not-so-popular sports too!!
Anyway, since I don't have a choice and I want to enjoy the HD effect of the opening ceremony, I guess I will wait until tonight for the most exciting event of the year!!
Censorship:
You know why we are not seeing the opening live? The stadium's 90,000 fans from countries around the world let out groans and boos when Bush appears.
I later read an Associated Press summary of the opening--no mention of this from them. If the tape-delayed coverage by NBC shows this, then I will consider myself proved wrong, but I doubt they will.
