31 Aug 05 President bans lip synching in Turkmenistan
He has outlawed opera and ballet and railed against long hair and gold teeth, but now Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov is determined to wipe out another perceived scourge: lip synching. [continue]
Although the guy sounds a little wacky, he does have a point. So much of the music is manufactured now that it is quite normal to see the big stars just lip synching at an event. I for one don’t want to watch someone mouth the words to the song. How much more fake can you get?
But to have a law forbidding it is bordering on the ridiculous. I guess no more karaoke in Turkmenistan.
