For those not opening the link, apparently the little girl who sang in the opening ceremony was lip syncing and the real singer was a 7 year old girl. The 7 year old girl won the contest to sing, but apparently wasn't cute enough to be in the ceremony because of buck teeth.

I couldn't agree more.

If you've ever read/seen George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' in which everyone is born equal in a communist society, but others are more equal, the side-lining of the buck tooth youngster absolutely describes the mindset, even in 2008 when the "C" word is just an echo of the past.

What's more worrying is the notion that folks are told stuff and the majority don't stop to think "but wait on-that can't be right".

...and London to a brick, after spending a gaffillionty dollars on the ceremony, they won't spend a square-plugged dime on the little girl's teeth, which makes my cheese unhappy.



Hugs,

The Stoat.

I've read it....just ask Scrooge McSam.

It is actually my favorite novel.
