"This was a last-minute question, a choice we had to make," the ceremony's musical designer, Chen Qigang, said. "Our rehearsals had already been vetted several times - they were all very strict. When we had the dress rehearsals, there were spectators from various divisions, including above all a member of the politburo who gave us his verdict: we had to make the swap." A "grueling competition" had been waged to choose the performer, but at the last minute the "swap" was made because the seven year old girl simply did not portray the image that the Chinese wanted to convey to the world, she had buck teeth according to the story. I can't tell you how bad I feel for Yang Peiyi (right), the name of the seven year-old, and her family because she was unable to proudfully claim her rightful place in Olympic history. This is now the second report to dispute what we thought was presented to us during the Opening Ceremony.
Report Abuse * 2 "- I can't tell you how bad I feel for Yang Peiyi Perhaps being since people are good enough to dig this out, people can seek the girl out for an interview? I can pretty much tell you the girl will receive enough fame that she does not need you to feel bad for her. I am sure you will say something else if Helicopers crashed just for you to see the real time fireworks(which was shot).
Are we actually holding the Olympics in the same city that killed so many protestors just a short time ago? The regime hasn't changed and the names are still the same. The Chinese even found a way to kill an American already while pointing the finger away from their "extremely tight" security.
the visual result is planned and delivered to appeal to the audience! Next you will be complaining that Harrison Ford did not really jump across the 50 meter canyon! or that Tom Cruise did not really run across the building tops in Shanghai! Did li Ning really run around the upper perimiter of the Olympic Stadium? The only genuine criteria for the olympics is that athletes must perform to a strict set of Olympic standards; the showmanship in the entertainment is 'created' according to entertainment guidlines, completely at the discretion of the director.
Report Abuse * 10 "Not that I would ever feel sorry for him, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Chinese stabber/murderer was thrown from the Tower by Chinese Government officials, instead of committed suicide as reported. It would be less "troublesome" for the Chinese Government to end it quickly, instead of having a long drawn out trial where the perpetrator could speak out his grievances."
Why does Yahoo insist on making such a "do" about this stuff? I think it's really funny that l these "hard hitting exposes" about the Opening Ceremony keep coming from a London paper. And no, she was not the "unquestioned star" - I had completely forgotten about that part of the ceremony until now.

I guess your bloggers must have duped plenty of ignorant ppl into thinking unfavourable things about the Beijing 2008 games. I just wonder how such an ignorant fool can pass for a journalist.
Report Abuse * 19 "I actually could care less about who is getting substituted for who or waht fireworks are fake or if the gymnists are underage watching their medals get taken away.
You seem to be knowledgeable about the high-technology wires. One scene of performers at the Olympics showed them on the huge globe in the center of the Bird's Nest. Some were standing on the equator, their bodies horizontal. Others were standing on the South Pole, their bodies upside down. Seems like because of the length of time they were standing, they would need more than wires.
