Dear Dsylexcis Not Afraid,

There is more to this simple statement than meets the eye in one's head.

If it's OK for China to do CGI segments (and infer that others were not computer assisted - but I won't go there again -yet) then the gloves will be off for the future in terms of "reality".

GCI [sic] costs a bomb, but doing this kind of $hit in real-time with the whole world watching is even more costly.

Now that the precedent has been set, I'm predicting freaky $hit like alien craft appearing and beaming down stuff. At this rate we'll have Homer Simpson as MC.

At least the 'stuff' won't include The Resident Shrub and The First Lady (aka The Huge Bruise), so it's all good.

Not long now, 7 and a bit months worth of swimming.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.
