Olympic shame...

[Rhona]

Did anyone else see on the news the pretty little girl singing at the opening ceremony of the Olympics - turns out she wasn't singing at all but only miming the words to a pre-recording from another little girl who wasn't deemed pretty enough to be shown on television..........what a disgrace!

 I saw ir, and posted on other Olympic site yesterday

I agree a disgrace, for small child to be excluded on grounds of looks = too awful really.

there are lots of allegations about opening ceremony and recorded fireworks etc.  a sham

So Englands plans for flat pack temporary stadiums looking like a sensible idea

My viewpoint .. as beautiful as the whole opening was .. there is still in the background the ugliness that has not yet left the  new emerging china .. Tibet , other human rights issues .. Mixed feelings ..

That looked and sounded so nice, what a shame 

[Bertie Horak]

My word, how terrible.  A "not as pretty" little face would have made the song much more touching to me!  That is really sad.

Yes I agree thats it a total disgrace but hey, China is not the only country to discriminate on looks...  Society does it all the time.  Either your not pretty enough  or thin enough.  Growing up as an overweight child I can honestly say I think I lived  through the discrimination often enough to realise that it does not only happen in China.

Look within yourselves?  Can you all honestly say that you have not atleast once discriminated against ugly, fat, unintelligent people?

I can right a book about the times I was discriminated against because as a child I was overweight...
These days I think twice before I pass judgement!

  Ja, Paula, but not on this board - only on the "Health board".  That will teach me a lesson - I'll have to read before I post, before I'm  !
