China prefers the cute girl
So apparently at the China Opening Ceremonies this adorable little girl sang her way into the hearts of viewers... or did she? The young girl we all saw and loved was moving her lips to the voice of a different little girl, a girl with buckteeth, short hair, and a pudgy little face. This other little girl was all set to perform, up until dress rehearsal, when Chinese officials decided she wasn't the image they wanted to show the world. So she was cut, but they still used her voice. I'm not saying that other countries stray from the same action, but seriously? The Olympics are about abilities, not about looks. No one cares if a gold medalist has a crooked nose and yellowing, twisted teeth... so long as they win, their country will hoist them up all the same. But this little girl sings like an angel, and her country hides her in a closet so they can boast a girl who looks more like an angel. Boo on China.
