Fake voice” and “Fake olympics opening Singer” are making the headlines today.

Its about China’s decision to swap 9 year old Lin Miaoke instead of 7 year old Yang Peiyi to sing at the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lin lip synced her way into the hearts of those who were watching the event. But it was not her voice that they heard.. but the voice of Yang.

Here’s the actual video of Lin singing lip syncing…

This is now creating an uproar both in China and around the world.

The reason for the swap is because Yang (the original singer) was not FLAWLESS… err.. not good looking in front of the cameras. Wow…. what a reason. Hahhahaha

But let me make it clear that its not the child’s fault. And i’m not writing this to put blame on the child. It’s those “all knowing” and wise men from China’s Government and Beijing’s Olympic committee where we should point our fingers to.

Lin is only a victim. But i’m sure you’ll agree with me that she can’t be separated from this controversy. We can’t put her aside beause she is like the main character of the story. And China is only the director and/or producer.

In fact, people have started creating their own version of the fake voice. Watch this…

This one is said to be Lin’s original voice..

Oh, another “fake” news about the olympics is that China admitted digitally enhancing and inserting giant footsteps created using fireworks going to the Bird’s Nest on one of the videos during the opening ceremonies. But that’s ok. What’s not ok is telling everyone it was real. =p

In the mobile world, China is known for their mobile clones.

Hmmm… what else is fake in this year’s Summer Olympics? Hmmmm…. maybe thier medals… or or or.. maybe yao ming has been cloned? wahahhahaha
