The musical director of the spectacular opening Olympic ceremony has revealed the little girl who starred in the event mimed her singing performance because the real singer wasn't pretty enough.

Lin Miaoke appeared to sing "Ode to the Motherland" before a televised audience of at least a billion last Friday, and has been hailed by the national press as a rising star.

But the show's director, Chen Qigang told state media the real star was seven-year-old Yang Peiyi, who has a chubby face and uneven teeth.

Mr Chen said the decision to swap the singers was made to benefit the nation.

It's also emerged some of the firework displays during the opening ceremony were faked.

its fucked up

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
