Perfect Lie


When you're a kid with a perfect voice but with an uneven teeth, you're not allowed to show your face before the world.

That's really mean, bordering on evil.

The kid who sang at the opening of the olympics (right) turns out to be a front. She lip synched to the voice of the girl who officials believed was not pretty enough to represent China (left).

For them, the poor girl's uneven teeth were potentially damaging to the international image of their country. So does that make faking a good way to uplift a nation's reputation?

I think the girl with the golden voice is cute enough. Her teeth are bound to be replaced by a nicer set when she grows up. I am bothered at how they mercilessly crushed the kid's self esteem and taught the other kid to cheat to protect a nation's interest. I feel for both girls.

It's a strange, cruel world.
