Why must the media take this to the extreme negative. Can't we all simply enjoy the spectacular events and shows.
Blessings,

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20).

It doesn't matter what they do, what they think, what they say
At the end of the day, I'm okay, anyway!

More Fake

Saw the following on Drudge this morning:


Olympic child singing star was a fake: ceremony director

Aug 12 04:11 AM US/Eastern

The little girl who starred at the Olympic opening ceremony was miming
and only put on stage because the real singer was not considered
attractive enough, the show's musical director has revealed.
Pigtailed Lin Miaoke was selected to appear because of her cute
appearance and did not sing a note, Chen Qigang, the general music
designer of the ceremony, said in an interview with a state
broadcaster aired Tuesday.

Photographs of Lin in a bright red party dress were published in
newspapers and websites all over the world and the official
China Daily hailed her as a rising star on Tuesday.

But Chen said the girl whose voice was actually heard by the 91,000
capacity crowd at the Olympic stadium during the spectacular ceremony
was in fact seven-year-old Yang Peiyi, who has a chubby face and uneven teeth.

"The reason why little Yang was not chosen to appear was because
we wanted to project the right image, we were thinking about what
was best for the nation," Chen said in an interview that appeared briefly on
the news website Sina.com before it was apparently wiped from
the Internet in China.
