I'm sitting here watching the women's marathon, and something funny happened. The runners ran by this nice wall:


Here's a picture from the helicopters a few moments before they reached that seemingly real wall. Not how the walls, are exactly the types of fake facades the author of that article wrote about. I think that's funny.

(I feel so bad for Deena, now, I gotta hope Paula Radcliffe can whoop up on the chinese favorite.)
