Lin vs. Yang : Beijing Olympics

Yang (L), Lin (R)
Nine year old Lin Miaoke, performed "Ode to Motherland" as China's flag was paraded Friday into the Beijing National Stadium...but...wait....it was actually Yang Peiyi singing (7yr old girl), while Lin was lip-syncing. Shhhhhhhhheeeeeeeee....tt!
"The reason was for the national interest," said Chen Qigang, the ceremony's musical director, in a state radio interview. "The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feelings and expression. ...Lin Mioke is excelelent in those aspects."

Just. Wow! *dead* Can't believe they're already f-ing with these kids minds about who's cute and who isn't... Just.Wow!

Lesson here for the kids - be born "cute"...and stay that way, if you plan on making it in Beijing!
