i think for the CG part... well... controversial.. coz they really get the firework going.. but not putting it 'LIVE'...  but still not looking great la...

for the little girl part, it is such a HUGH disgrace!!!! 外 形 不 夠 可 愛 ???? so does it have anything to deal with 「 為 了 國 家 的 利 益 」 ????

世 上 沒 有 小 孩 是 醜 的 ！醜 的 is the adults who classify 小 孩 by their appearance!!!!

respond to # 7:

i really don't think so... & really i don't see any ugly kids...  "your looks are reflection from your heart".. that may explain why there'r some ugly adults..

reply to the following:


As seen above, there is such a thing as ugliness and there are various degrees of it as well, but this is the result of their actions and circumstance.
楊沛宜 will now be growing up listening to adults, telling her that her glory was stolen and that she was not pretty enough. How would this change her thinking, and would she become truly ugly with acts of self-destruction? If her parents are sane, I hope that she would be raised according to her talents and let her carry on as a person of talents.

wow... they're your assumptions, rite? I don't think it's appropriate to comment on something that's not the fact.

I see your point there, but I still don't see such a thing called "ugly kid". Even kids are born with defects & they may not look as good as the others, they're so innocent & naive that I will never name-calling them "ugly kids".

i think that's the message in the deepest... that's why i dislike it that much:

締造完美畫面「咪嘴」 標榜女性外表作祟 2008年8月14日
  
【明報專訊】於上周北京奧運開幕式上高歌《歌唱祖國》的紅衣小姑娘林妙可，是被大會安排由一名擁有更完美的嗓子、但樣子不夠「漂亮」的女孩楊沛宜在幕後代唱。這個「咪嘴」事件曝光後隨即引起國際間的廣泛爭議，有本地研究女性自尊問題的專家認為，這個為締造完美畫面而「易角」的做法，是現今基於形象來針對女性的排斥行為的又一例子。

在本地為一項鼓勵女性自尊運動的跨國基金擔任顧問的女性健康輔導員泰勒(Lisa Taylor)昨指出﹐基於形象的排斥在現今社會已變得極為盛行，而今次「咪嘴」事件所帶出的負面信息，就是外表比何任東面都更重要，要漂亮才不會被排斥。

泰勒稱，該種風氣不僅是在中國(今次京奧)，其實已在全球都很普及，這會為女性造成很大的壓力，因為外表在現今社會已變成了重要的因素，不管如唱歌等的才華有多好，如外表未能達到某個水平，都不被接納。

對於這種「歪風」的形成，泰勒歸咎於現今社會傾向塑造完美的做法，譬如時裝雜誌中的女模特兒，往往都是近6呎高、擁有窈窕身材的。她表示，非白種人的女性所面對的壓力更大，因為有色族裔在這些「完美的角度上」並無足夠的代表性。

泰勒說，愈來愈多少女因此有進食失調的情況﹐過於注重外表而忽略自己其他的強項，或是因外表而面對交友困難等問題。一項於2006年所作的國際性調查，發現達到92%的少女和婦女都想改變她們的外表。

由於事件已被國際媒體廣泛報道，泰勒認為，家長應趁機跟子女坦誠討論外表的重要性問題，解釋目前並不單只是中國，全球都有這種過於注重外表的歪風，講解個人的自信心應是如何建立。

此次的「咪嘴」事件，昨日除登上多倫多4份主流報章的頭版外，也成被本地多個主流媒體報道，而在網上更已成為熱門話題，短片網站更有多個有關的短片被上載和討論。

有網民表示，在幕後配音的女孩的樣子，根本沒有問題，也是很可愛和漂亮。另有網民認為，審美婦女特性變得沒有年齡界限，是值得可悲的。

也有網民替這兩名女孩可憐，因為要「咪嘴」的會被人永遠記「只得個樣」，而代唱的永遠被人記得是「出唔到鏡」，她們其實能在這個盛大儀式上演出，應是很大的榮幸，為何要給她們如此大壓力，希望大眾給她們空間。

有網民說，最應「易角」反而是跟英國歌手布萊曼(Sarah Brightman)拍擋的中國歌手劉歡，認為大會應找一個更英俊的來唱這首奧運主題曲《我和你》。

i think most western people just can't distinguish the "older age" & "younger age" of asian ppl...esp girl...

well.. i think i look "mature" enough but still sometimes taken as pre-teen by western people....
lots of asian females have that kind of experience ga!

pepsis2

So does you young looking asian females find that people are more revealing to you when they mistake you as an inexperienced youngster?

plz rephrase your sentence to a standard that is understandable.
don't really know what u r talking about. "Inexperienced"???? watch ur mouth!

Anyway, I mean when u go to take public transit, go to casino etc...

oh another example... u guys remember the HK girl (actually woman, married, like 26 year old, but only 5 ft tall) who travelled with her parents, sister, & husband oversea & got into ancar accident & all of them died but only she survived???

I remember that the great guy helped pull her (white local) from the burning car after the accident told the media that he was sooo shocked that "the little girl" got in such a terrible accident.. he mistook her as a12 - 13 year old...

Well, maybe it's b/c of her look, her height...

oh by the way, communication is always 2 ways.
