Mia Farrow introduces the Alternative Opening Ceremony

The Darfur Olympics (www.darfurolympics.org) is a protest to keep the spotlight on the people of Darfur during the Beijing Games.

If you do not want to watch China glorify itself during the Games, we have created an alternative opening ceremony -- a one-minute celebration of Darfurian children.

And, every day for the first week of the Games (August 8 to 15) we will show a new daily webcast report from Mia Farrow from a Darfurian refugee camp.

Watch our online concert, too. Artists who donated videos: REM, Talib Kweli, 420 Funk Mob with guest George Clinton, The Jones Street Boys, and Stephanie McKay. (www.darfurolympics.org)

It's about sports and it's a great event in an athletes live. Don't try to take that away from them with your political message!

A real sporting event we could all enjoy is seeing all of the world figures that supposedly represent us in a 'bird's nest' duking it out.

I've watched the Olympics every year since I was 12 years old. Not this year. I did write to all of the Olympic sponsors this year, only Coca Cola and GE wrote me back. They said that they were sponsors because they have a contract with the Olympics and they do not condone China's humanity policies...yadda yadda, I will not watch this year.

why only less than 1000 people sow it???
