So far I’ve refused to fall into the trap of Olympic jingoism, but this time I think those godless communists have gone too far. This is just one human rights abuse too many.

It seems they found the cherubic voice they needed to sing their national anthem, but the angel’s face didn’t quite meet comintern standards. So they trotted this little cutie out to lip sync while the other girl sang in the wings somewhere.

It’s great to live in a country with a free, unmanipulated press. I’m glad we don’t place such a big deal out of our national anthem. I’m glad we don’t objectify little children.

And yes… I’ll come right out and say it. And I’m glad we don’t let ugly little girls sing the national anthem at sporting events either.
