Reality is what we say it is...

And if you're the People's Republic of China, you say reality has straight teeth.

Some might note that Luciano Pavarotti's performance at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin was prerecorded and aired over footage of him singing. Of course, Pavarotti was at the time 70 years old, in severe pain, about to be diagnosed with cancer and someone figured it might not be the best idea to have him sing outside in freezing temperatures.

Here, the Chinese officials, who apparently want to be sure their nation keeps up in the all-important orthodontia race, said that using the straight-toothed girl in the video footage over the voice of the girl who actually sang was "in the national interest."

You stay classy, commie dorks.
