No Lip-Synching, Says China
Aw, China got called out during the Olympic opening ceremony, so now no one is allowed to lip synch on TV anymore. Damn it, there goes my elaborately choreographed and lip-synched performance to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” that I was going to do for their New Year’s specials.
Noooo!
Though I suppose their reasoning makes sense, and [...]
What the #*ck is melamine?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last year or so, you’ve undoubtedly heard about all of the contaminated food pouring in from China, a great deal of which is laced with a mysterious compound called melamine. If you’re like me, most of these warnings are met with a shrug and a quickly [...]
China: Not Guns’n'Roses Fans
CNN Story
At least on this point China and I are agreed.
Unsurprisingly, the Chinese government is unhappy with the release of Guns’n’Roses’ new album, Chinese Democracy, which they have been working on since I was fifteen years old.
If the West is really trying to grasp and control the world, I doubt they’d be using Guns’n’Roses to [...]
Things That Want to Eat You: Pandas
“Wow, that panda is SO CUTE I am just going to climb over alllllll these warning signs and hop into it’s enclosure! And then I’m going to act surprised when it bites the fuck out of me!”
Seriously, dude. They may look cute when they’re stuffed and smaller than you, but in real life pandas are [...]
China to plot future reincarnation of Tibetan spiritual leader?
I really don’t have it in me to be snarky about this, so I’ll let the original material speak for itself - suffice to say that religion and governments make really shitty bedfellows.
Last year the Chinese passed a law that gives Beijing the power to approve the reincarnation of living Buddhas or lamas, of whom [...]
No Chinese Football for You!
People on professional sports teams are not exactly known for being decent, upstanding citizens. And when it comes to soccer, the fans aren’t known for being classy people either.
But it’s bad when your entire league behaves so badly that Chinese TV refuses to broadcast your games until you all shape up.
No Football!
I think this might [...]
Hijacked Chinese ship crew ‘fine’, says Pirate
Actually, I think his words were ‘Arrrr, they be fine - matey! Pass the grog and raise the mizzenmast!’…but can you really trust a pirate? I mean, can you ?
All the 24 crewmembers on board the Chinese fishing ship, which has been hijacked by pirates off southern Somalia, are “fine”, a pirate leader told a [...]

Fish Tank Toilets
Only the Chinese, with their out-of-the-box thinking and tiny, tiny, apartments, could come up with something this brilliant.
Fish Tank Toilets
I want one! Of course I would then spend half my time sitting on the bathroom floor, staring at the fish. But it would be good entertainment for the cat too. She spends half her time [...]
Telekinetic Chinese Man
www.rincondelmisterio.com has posted a news story from China about an 84-year-old man with alleged telekinesis.
Telekinesis
I am actually more likely to believe this guy’s claims just because he seems to be working so hard at it. Of course there are many ways he could be hoaxing it, especially considering the items he’s using and the angle [...]
