The Olympic opening ceremony - BORING

I just finished watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics and I was very disappointed. It was in one word - BORING. Yes is was spectacular but very uninteresting. The acoustics were the worst I have heard in a long time. Their sound system made my ears hurt. The American media pumped the spectacle up for the last few days and now I know why, for the ratings. I sure do hope that the coverage of the Olympic events is better than their coverage of the first night. Gawd is was awful. I know I can't be the only person in the world who feels this way. I am sorry to say it was a big let down.
