A little poetic justice in the land of tightly controlled media. On a day that saw journalists reeling from the news that the IOC and Chinese authorities had misled them about the censoring of access to certain web sites, a South Korean broadcaster leaked footage of a secret and heavily guarded rehearsal of the Opening Ceremonies. I suspect many find the clip so enjoyable to watch not because it's a brief, blurry glipse at lighting effects and costumed dancers, but because it's a symbolic poke in the eye of the Chinese media censors.
