Watch out, Milli Vanilli

I have just run across the State Council's Regulations on the Administration of For-Profit Performances (营业性演出管理条例), issued July 7, 2005 and effective as of September 1, 2005. Among other things, lip-synching is now prohibited, and punishable by a fine of up to 100,000 yuan (see Articles 29 and 47).

Since witty sarcasm is very hard to pull off successfully, I'm just going to report this one without comment.
