2008 Beijing Olympic Beauty Standard



Lin Miaoke, age 9, electrified the world with her flying performance of 'Ode to the Motheland' during the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony. Her father noted her voice sounded a little different than normal and that's because the actual singer, a 7 year-old girl named Yang Peiyi, didn't fit into the Chinese Politburo's aesthetics of the perfect voice matching the perfect voice, so they used two girls to achieve a celestial harmony for the pleasure of the viewing public.

At least the girls didn't have to strip naked like the cheerleaders.
