Olympic Hoax!

I am saddened to hear that there were certain portions of the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony were not as they appeared to be. First off the cute little girl who flew high above the Bird’s Nest singing “Ode to the Motherland” was actually lip-synching to another little girls voice. This is an Olympic Milli Vanilli! Apparently a high ranking China Official decided the actual singer was not cute enough and made the call to pull the old switch a roo! I saw a video of the actual little girl whose voice we heard singing and she was just as cute at the actual girl in the performance. But I guess she didn’t have the stage presence and therefore she was yanked for a pro. The little girl actually seen in the performance has done some commercials in the past. Here are the pictures of the two little girls in the middle of the controversy; the singer is on the left and the performer on the right. I think they are both adorable!

Also the Beijing organizers confirmed that some of the opening ceremony’s fireworks display—29 gigantic footprints shown “walking” toward the National Stadium—featured prerecorded footage. The footage was provided to broadcasters “for convenience and theatrical effects.”

What is going on over there? Did any of that actually take place or was that all just a hoax put on by the Chinese government? I know China wanted to present a flawless Olympics but so far all of their little tricks are backfiring on them! Well, at least the events aren’t rigged! Or are they? Look how many gold medals China has! There has been some fishy scoring in a few of the events.
