Couple interesting things about Olypmics Closing Ceremonies

1) In the first part of the program all of the actors/participants had bike helmets on - which is ironic, given that no one in China (save expats) wears bike helmets!

2)
http://www.cnn.com/ had an article on the web describing the closing ceremonies - BEFORE the ceremonies were over. We were in China, in our apartment watching them live on TV and I am reading about them on the web as if they were already over... classic - cnn just could not get 'scooped' so they published before they were over... but seriously, the story did not at all indicate the ceremonies were still happening!

3) Steph and I can't remember which comedian (Sam Kinnison? Bill Cosby? Jeff Foxworthy?)does the bit about TV when they were growing up, but the punch line is that it sucked when the president was on TV because he was on every channel - welcome to watching openning and closing ceremonies for the Olympics in China - 3 CCTV stations and the EXACT same thing on every channel!
