The Chinese executed an amazing Olympics opening ceremony last Friday. The drummers were precise. The costumes were elaborate. The props were flawless. The child singer was…. too ugly?
A 7-year-old Chinese girl was not good-looking enough for the Olympics opening ceremony, so another little girl with a pixie smile lip-synched “Ode to the Motherland,” a ceremony official said - the latest example of the lengths Beijing took for a perfect start to the Summer Games.
Now I remember! The little anime girl in the beginning.
A member of China’s Politburo asked for the last-minute change to match one girl’s face with another’s voice, the ceremony’s chief music director, Chen Qigang, said in an interview with Beijing Radio.
“The audience will understand that it’s in the national interest,” Chen said in a video of the interview posted online Sunday night.
China has been eager to present a flawless Olympics image to the world, shooing migrant workers and so-called petitioners who come to the central government with grievances from the city and shutting down any sign of protest.
Yes, the Chinese nation will understand that you should care more about what the popular kids think about you instead of liking who you really are. Wait… Isn’t this the first lesson our parent’s teach us as children?
Apparently, the last minute replacement was decided because the real child singer had crooked teeth.
Will the real child singer please stand up?

Good grief - that precious little girl, every bit as pretty as
the other girl - and looking more normal/Chinese, too!!
I bet those self-made illegitimate [expletive deleted] sleep
very well at night, too - the sign of total moral bankruptcy.
