Think of all the cheap knock-offs you can get from China, well it turns out that even the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics had some fakeness to it: the fireworks!

A pre-recorded, computer-generated shot of the fireworks was played for us on our TV's.... why ? It was done all in the name of safety. 

Although it might it might upset some, it makes sense really, because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter..... never fear there were real ones that were set off at the stadium..... we'll just never know how spectacular they truly were..  just like i'll never know what a real Gucci handbag feels like ;)
