The organisers of the Beijing Olympics are furious after a South Korean TV channel broadcast excerpts of a rehearsal of the Games' opening ceremony. The video then found its way onto the Internet and became a huge hit, worsening the situation.
Over a week before the Games begin on 8 August and we already know what the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony will look like. The channel that aired the images, SBS, insists that it got hold of them legally. "We went there, nobody arrested us. So we filmed," said one its reporters. The video has already been removed from YouTube, but can still be found on other video sharing sites.
UPDATE (4 August 08 - 11am): the video has now also been removed from LiveLeak. You can find the video here.
