Another update from the 2008 Beijing Olympics in China. Apparently the real singer girl, Yang Peiyi, has crooked teeth so they got a stand-in, Lin Miaoke, to lip synch. The girls are nine years old.

You’ll thank me later
China’s Organization Committee for the 2008 Beijing Olympics says their censorship of the Internet is for the good of China’s youth.
…Wang Wei, the vice-president of organising committee BOCOG, said: “We (BOCOG) promised free access except for a few websites that jeopardise our security and the healthy growth of our youth. That’s an assessment made by the authorities of which sites are good and which are not good for our youth. It’s like what any other country does.”
So what about the country’s adults?
Quick poll – What do you think is worse: Guantanamo Bay, rendition or China’s censorship of the Internet?
