Raybon Kan: It's all crazy at the Games

I know what you're thinking. Raybon, is that really you writing this? Or are you in act a cute seven-year-old girl with crooked teeth only pretending to be you? And it's not even like that girl's teeth were crooked in a bad way. They were crooked in a way that the First World finds charming.

Still, it's good the real singer finally gets the recognition she deserves. Imagine if she'd lived her whole life with that secret. Eventually nobody would believe her. And the girl out front, the girl who did the lip-syncing, will she grow into a bitter and twisted adult? Or will that happen to the other girl, the girl in the backroom, in the sweat shop, the Cinderella scarred by her country telling her at the age of seven she wasn't cute enough? I'm also curious to learn if the guy who blew the whistle continues to live at all. I predict he will be found dead after an earthquake. More...
