Star Chang, May 1, 2013 4:41 AM, 1,102 views, Got something to say ?,

A farming restaurant in rural China has decided to provide wireless Internet access for their customers. The restaurant owner put up striking banner to promote the new service, but a small mistake has became frankly laughable. The most important word “WiFi” has misspelled, the signs now become: “Our Farm Has Been Covered with Wife.” The story gained some steam on Chinese social media, many people are saying it’s hard to believe to commit such a ridiculous mistake, it could be some kind of marketing hype. Even more interesting, one Chinese netizen is poking fun at the restaurant, asking whether the “wife” is free to access. Misspelled signs are not only found in China, the west is having spelling mistake too.

A video showing a Beijing dance instructor physically and verbally abusing her students in a studio went viral on Chinese social media. The video has been played 1.83 million times since it was uploaded just 4 days ago, according to Youku. The woman can be heard shouting at her class of female students, who appear to be aged 13 to 15 years old. The clip shows she was striking students with a cane, kicking them and slapping and shoving their heads. Chinese netizens slammed the teacher as “crazy”, “immoral” and “unworthy of being a teacher.” Previously, we have seen how an unqualified Chinese teachers abused kindergarten kids, by holding up a child by his ears. Sometimes, the characteristic of the Chinese can be freaking sick, thanks to Chairman Mao and his Cultural Revolution. Communism may be part of the reason for this kind of immorality in Chinese society.

Using Rotten Bicycles to Strengthen Compound Fence

Star Chang, Apr 26, 2013 7:23 PM, 419 views, Got something to say ?,

Bicycles are seen hung up along the 200 meter long fence of a residential compound in Shenyang city in northeast China. The 60 bicycles are not used to perform a bicycle art work, but a last-ditch move of the property management company to strengthen the surrounding fence for security concern. Some lazy residents secretly destroyed the iron fence so that they can get in and out to a nearby supermarket by shortcut. The authorities had to repair the fence with iron bars and rods welded in the fence holes, to keep strangers and potential thieves away. But it got broken again shortly. Finally they came out an idea by collecting some discarded bicycles and used them to fill the holes of the fence. And it works pretty well, every bicycle is bound with iron wire to the iron rods of the fence left undestroyed. The holes are sealed off with the bicycle tires, which makes it impossible for a person to get through. It’s strange to see rotten bicycles hung up on the fence for security and inadvertently become an art work.

The Chinese Babes At Shanghai Auto Show Are Certainly Not Family-Oriented (Video)

Star Chang, Apr 26, 2013 2:30 PM, 4,560 views, 1 Comment »,

The 15th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition is being held at Shanghai this week. In China, auto shows are always the right places to see sexy hot chicks prancing around. The event will always labeled as “a boobs exhibition with many famous cars.” Last year, we had seen the almost naked boobs ran wild at Chengdu auto show. The Chinese have already learned about the importance of selling metal with flesh. Beijing authorities said that the revealing clothing of some models at automotive exhibition has had a “negative social impact,” the “vulgar publicity” has been criticized by officers. Well, this kind of publicity stunt is still happening over at Shanghai auto show. Despite the dress codes have upgraded to look more elegant, some babes are still wearing deep cut top to capture attention with their huge boobs. The call for a more family-oriented posture show is unlikely to be achieved in China …

We Have Watch the Latest Iron Man 3 Movie in Hong Kong (Spoilers)

Star Chang, Apr 25, 2013 6:24 AM, 1,168 views, 2 Comments »,

Iron Man 3 has arrived today in Hong Kong cinemas. Robert Downey Jr is back in the luxury superhero extravaganza. The film is a joint production of the Disney-owned Marvel Pictures and Beijing-based DMG Entertainment. The overseas openings of the Hollywood blockbuster begin April 24 and upon domestic launch May 3. What we’re watching here in Hong Kong is an international version, which the storyline has not provided too much significant Chinese elements. We may have to watch the movie again in China to find out what are those extra bonus footage, which are specially filmed for the Chinese audience. There is a product placement for Chinese electronics manufacturer TCL, but it’s not obviously to be seen. Tony Stark has smashed one of the Alcatel’s phone (made by TCL) inside the movie. Such a scene is considered to be a rather poor marketing plot for TCL. By the way, we watch the movie in classic 2D version, we just hate 3D glasses …

Chinese Flight Attendants Will Soon Dress in Maid Costume

Randy Cheung, Apr 22, 2013 11:26 PM, 1,175 views, Got something to say ?,

Spring Airlines, a Shanghai-based budget airline, has taken unique measures to draw passengers, now requiring its flight attendants to serve passengers dressed as butlers and maids. Influenced by Japanese anime and the popularity of its female characters, it has become increasingly common to see young women dressed as maids to hand out flyers for various promotion in Southease Asia. Spring Airlines hopes to cash in on the craze and believes the move will appeal to a greater number of young people. Some Chinese netizens have objected the idea, saying the airline should improve its level of service, rather than resort to a gimmick. Many also said the maid theme does not fit in with traditional Chinese culture — a suggestion that contains more than a hint of anti-Japanese nationalism. Meanwhile, EVA Air, Taiwan’s second-largest carrier, undertook a similar measure last year by launching Hello Kitty-themed planes to increase its appeal to female passengers in particular. The Japan maid costume often has sexual connotations, we just hope it won’t create any perverted situations on Chinese flight.

America Bans Chinese Online Game Ad Which Use Indecent Language

Star Chang, Apr 22, 2013 3:09 PM, 484 views, Got something to say ?,

A Chinese online game advertisement was pulled from digital billboards in New York’s Times Square due to use of the Chinese word “Diao Si,” a self-deprecating term for young Chinese internet users. The ad was removed because the slogan violates US regulations which prohibit broadcasting indecent language. As a result, Times Square authorities have halted all Chinese-language advertisements in order to re-examine their contents. “Diao si” is a Chinese word invented on a Chinese forum that became popular at the beginning of last year. Literally it means “dick-string”. It is a word referring to a specific group of young men with humble background, filled with entanglement, and facing reality helplessly. It has become a popular term similar to the Japanese term “otaku.” Diaosi has become a fashionable, unique cultural phenomenon in vogue among the Chinese youth …

The Poultry Feather Removal Machine Might be The Infection Source of China’s Bird Flu Virus (Video)

Star Chang, Apr 22, 2013 12:09 AM, 1,459 views, Got something to say ?,

[UPDATE] Almost four weeks after China reported finding a new strain of bird flu in humans, experts are still stumped by how Chinese people are becoming infected. The new virus, known as H7N9, has killed 17 people in China and infected 66 others (Update:cases in China rise to 108) in the country, mostly along the eastern seaboard. Authorities believe that patients who live in cities are most likely to have been exposed to the virus at live poultry markets where birds are slaughtered upon purchase. An example of a potential infection is the machines commonly used by Chinese poultry sellers to remove feathers from chickens. The birds are dipped into hot water in tubs that spin at high speeds, and liquid particles containing the virus could be dispersed in a spray. The virus can be easily inhaled this way. In addition, poultry sellers might have not entirely clean their poultry depilating machines. This is what the experts suspect to be a major environmental exposure that causes human infections …
