Blue Screen of Olympic Death



Since I am, undoubtedly, a geek, here is a geeky way of poking fun at the already embarassing controversy-ridden opening ceremonies.

The Blue Screen of Death, signifying a fatal computer error, was projected onto the roof of the National Stadium during the grand finale to the four-hour spectacular as veteran Chinese gymnast Li Ning, suspended 70 metres above the stadium floor, "jogged" towards the Olympic torch.

More of the same pics at Gizmodo, and all taken from different angles from different cameras, making it very likely that this was, contrary to the spirit of this Olympics, not faked.

Ok, so China, maybe it's time to press Ctrl-Alt-Del, reboot and change the party in power install a new operating system.

Just a thought...
