Bloggers Take Aim At Olympic Fakery

Critical of lip-synching

Bloggers are expressing their anger today after it was revealed that China decided at the Olympic opening ceremony to have a cute little girl lip-synching for the real singer who had crooked teeth.

Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi

Nine-year-old Lin Miaoke received praise for her cute performance but organizers came clean today admitting that she was a stand-in for the real singer Yang Peiyi.

One blogger wrote,"There is nothing wrong with the singer's looks! They are both beautiful little girls. Maybe they should have just killed the girl singer after she made the recording to keep the story hidden in true oppressive government fashion."

The organizers also admitted that some of the fireworks broadcast on television during the opening ceremony were computer generated.

Wang Wei, Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) vice-president and spokesman acknowledged that the fireworks might not have been live.

"On the day of the ceremony there were actual footprint fireworks from the south to the north of the city," Wang said. "However, because of poor visibility on the night, some previously recorded footage may have been used."

Another blogger took aim at the hypocrisy of Beijing. "Eager to put on a perfect Olympics, Beijing has swept its streets of fake designer handbags, pirated DVDs and phony corporate logos. That dedication to authenticity apparently does not extend to Olympics ceremonies."

Face over substance

I use to worry about China overtaking the West based on their accumulated wisdom; now I see that their society and leaders are reflecting the West's worst values back at us.  Their success will be beating us to the bottom of the barrel.
