False Fireworks?

False Impressions
And finally, Chinese officials admit to deceiving the world over some of the highlights at Friday's Olympic opening ceremony.
The London Telegraph reports the nine-year-old girl who was seen singing as the Chinese flag entered the stadium was in fact lip-syncing. Lin Miaoke became an overnight sensation in Beijing, but the ceremony's musical director says the real singer was a seven-year-old girl, Yang Peiyi, who was given the singing spot after a 10-year-old winner of a nation-wide competition was told she was too old. At the last minute, a member of the Chinese Politburo determined Yang Peiyi was unsuitable to be shown on the broadcast because of her buck teeth.
Chinese officials have already admitted that some of the video images of the massive fireworks display at the opening ceremony were actually pre-recorded, digitally enhanced and inserted into the broadcast.
Hmmmmmm. Makes you wonder...
