there were actual fireworks similar to what was seen on tv. however, they were also recreated with CGI for viewers at home, as it would've been very difficult to capture them as they were on camera

The Spanish national basketball team, gold medal contenders at the Olympics in Beijing, was featured in a full page ad that shows the team pulling back at their eyes in a slanty-eyed gesture. According to the Guardian, the ad (which is for a freight company) ran in a Spanish newspaper.

The Spanish always cause controversy with race stuff, don't they.
