hen Qigang, the general music designer of the ceremony, said: 'The reason why little Yang was not chosen to appear was because we wanted to project the right image, we were thinking about what was best for the nation.

'The reason was for the national interest. The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feelings, and expression.

'Lin Miaoke is excellent in those aspects. But in terms of voice, Yang Peiyi is perfect, each member of our team agreed.'

Bah, they should have worried much more about that male adult singer. Now that guy was ugly. That girl is not ugly at all.

IMO they should have just used both as is, of course.

honestly i felt more raped by the fake fireworks deal. See unfortunately i believe what i see sometimes, like iraq or the 2000 US election. Ive seen Wag the Dog, that was enough to convince me, oh and Sopranos dead soprano mother on a stick.



“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.

I still don't understand what fireworks were fake, and how they managed that.

EDIT - Oh, I just found it. Computer generated?

I heard that only 3 of the supposed 2008 drummers were real. The rest were done with animation and mirrors.

It's kind of sad that they couldn't find a cute girl that can also sing.







Now, i wonder who's behind Mariah Carey's voice?

Why does the original news source put "too ugly" in quotations, when the actual quote is "not chosen to appear was because we wanted to project the right image." The little girl was not called "too ugly" by Qigang (Not sure if that is his surname)
