The Olympics are on. You might have noticed. I watched the opening ceremony-despite telling myself I wouldn't. They were a spectacular example of chinese history, pageantry and precision dance. A seven year girl sang a national song and won the hearts of the worldwide audience....aaaah.
Except she didn't. The girl we all saw was miming, the actual singer (with the perfect voice) was Yang Peiyi and she was banished backstage somewhere. She was apparently too ugly/imperfect/flawed to be seen on telly. How can that be? The regime of China is so desperate that it stoops to telling a little girl she is too ugly to be seen? Shame.
Little girl - you are beautiful. And don't let those old waxwork rejects tell you otherwise.
