Did you catch the story from the opening ceremonies of the Olympics? It was the one where China had the pretty girl lip sync the Chinese national anthem. The reason they went "Milli Vanilli" on the national anthem was due to the fact that the real singer was not pretty enough. It's amazing to me that they couldn't find just one cute girl who could sing out of about 1.5 billion people.
This problem is not isolated to the Chinese. Whenever appearance is more important than substance it always ends up being ugly rather than beautiful. It is like Jesus pronouncement concerning the Pharisees in Matthew 23:25-26. He says, "You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but the inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence." In other words, when you do things for appearance sake you don't solve the problem. You make the situation uglier when you look a little closer.

Blame it on the rain......
How awful for the little girl who could sing. She will be in therapy b/c we are all so superficial and vain.
Girl you know it's true......
