Too Ugly For The World
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Can you imagine going through life being know as the girl that was too ugly to sing at the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics?
That’s exactly what’s happening to seven-year-old Yang Peiyi. Yang is the one with the beautiful voice that was supposed to sing “Ode to the Motherland” during the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics. There was one problem though. The producer of the show didn’t think Yang was cute enough, so he ditched her and brought in seven-year-old Lin Miaoke.
People wonder why young girls have so many self esteem problems…well duh. I think both little girls will probably be dealing with some issues. One is apparently too ugly, and the other pulled a Milli-Vanilli and lip synched the song. The producer of the show says he did it in the name of national interest.
It’s a topic that’s created a lot of discussion. I’ve heard some say that it’s all about the show and he was right for replacing the chubby faced girl with the crooked teeth. Others think the move was despicable. I personally agree with the latter. Feel free to comment, I’d love to hear what you have to say.
