Fake Olympic Singer and Firework disappointment

The opening ceremony of the Olympis Games has wowed most but some are left disappointed.

As found out on Tuesday Yang Peiyi was meant to be singing in the Opening ceremony but was replaced by Lin Miaoke because she was appearantly not pretty or "cute" enough. Yang  is slightly chubby and has crooked teeth, and Lin has long hair and is better looking.

It shows much discrimination against anything now, not just people being racist or sexist.

Also found in this Olympics of fakes is the fireworks you might have seen on your television at home weren't actually there. They were filmed another night and slightly computer generated and played that night. 

Wang Wei, a member of the Beijing Olympic organizing committee, said the "footage and computer images were used because of poor visibility on the night of the opening ceremony."

This story touched me because it show how global discrimination has truly lengthened to a new standard. So much so that they wouldn't let the voice of the singer sing at the OLYMPICS. It is just plainly SAD and thankyou for writing an article on it. Hopfully this will encourage other to stop global discrimination.

All I can say is one word: wow.

I can't believe that the world has reached this level of discrimination. It shows how society has really raised their standards in what people should look like. I think it is outrageous that Yang Peiyi was not able to sing because of the way she looked. People need to realize that what is on the inside is what counts. Unless the media stops brainwashing society about what is "pretty" and "acceptable" where are we all going to end up in. Who's to say what a person should look like. I believe there is no "look", everybody in the world is different and we all need to accept that and focus on what qualities we have on the inside.  Maybe then we can grow as humans and realize that there is so much more to us than our outward appearance.
