Shouldn't they be calling it Myanmar? That's the official term used by the autocratic regime. Actually it's interesting that they used attractive women/celebrities for all these pro-Burmese democracy clips.

They won't call it Myanmar because they don't recognise it as being Myanmar. Same as the BBC refer to it as Burma, because we won't recognise the legitimacy of the regime.
