It's not like we would have cared either way. Most people from China are very ugly, so it wouldn't have mattered if they used the "buck toothed" little girl or not.

Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.
-Albert Einstein

Sad to say but I think China is just following the new global standard that America has helped to create. Just look at anything American; its flashy, good-looking, easy to get, fun, addictive or its buried underneath the cloud of these illusions and falsely perceived images. Just like in America and most other industrialized nations China is just giving the people what they want; flashy charm without any of the horrible reality that comes with it. We Americans better start waking up and thinking for ourselves or we will end up just like them: controled, abused and BS'd to the point of absurdity, we already see what they're willing to put on for the world.

If you want my opinion I think having the Olympic Games in China is comparable to have a baby shower at an abortion clynic: the two just dont mix well.

I would like to agree with Ying Yang Man.

Most American movies have young, good looking actors for heros and heroines. Much of TV is glib and superficial.

Communist China is supposed to be free of all that, though.

There was some suspicion that female Chinese gymnasts were actually only seven to nine years old, posing as sixteen. My wife and I saw a couple of them that looked like they were in that age range. It brought back memories of the old USSR and women in the shotput etc with very furry upper lips. The judging was dodgy then too. It was bizarre this year too.
