It has become widespread news that the Beijing Olympics opening fireworks were faked.


The real and fake fireworks shown side by side.

Inspired by Ashley Simpson, Lin Miaoke lipped synced the opening ceremony.
The real singer, Yang Peiyi, is on the right.
According to an interview with the General Music Designer, this was done because they decided the real singer did not look as cute.
Who knows what else was faked. It would not be surprising if more of these revelations come up.
