Olympic opening uses girl's voice, not face

this Should stir things up

BEIJING (AP) -- One little girl had the looks. The other had the voice.

So in a last-minute move demanded by one of China's highest officials, the two were put together for the Olympic opening ceremony, with one lip-synching "Ode to the Motherland" over the other's singing.

The real singer, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, with her chubby face and crooked baby teeth, wasn't good looking enough for the ceremony, its chief music director told state-owned Beijing Radio.

I just read that because most of the events are half empty, they have hired "space fillers" to occupy the empty seats. They are easy to spot in yellow shirts. China will do anything to keep from being embarrassed during their time in the national spotlight. They wouldn't have to try so hard to look good if things weren't so bad.
