Voice of America reported that not just the fireworks on TV were prerecorded during the open ceremony, but apparently the singing of a 9 year old girl who lip-synched to a less adorable 7 year old. I was troubled by this news for a while, because this has just gone too far. Has a habit of piracy produced such unethical behavior? I thought avoiding the show would be a wise use of my time; now I've just got to buy that 3 dollar Olympic ceremony videos that's selling so hot on the chinatown streets everywhere.
But then again, often times we are cheated. It is not easy, but the best response is always better ourselves and be wiser and don't hold grudge.
